Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Revised National Development Plan: Discussion

Mr. Peter Walsh:

At the moment, there is an introductory period, which is typical internationally because this these systems are used internationally. They are advisory but under the Road Traffic and Roads Bill under consideration it would become an offence and we would set statutory speed limits, determined and illustrated on overhead gantries, and lane control. At that point, if there is an incident, the gantry signs will indicate whether that lane is closed or not, and drivers need to leave that lane.
