Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Chairperson Designate

Mr. Gareth Llewellyn:

That comment was made with regard to the consequences of not implementing dynamic traffic management on the M50. If you do not do that, you must either accept that people are going to be consistently delayed - and delayed even further in future because of the potential growth in car numbers - or you must build more roads. That is the only other option. If you do that, it seems you will only be building roads to accommodate the congestion at peak times. That does not feel like a good investment. Dynamic traffic management will help with that. It will avert any future expansion of the motorway to tackle that particular issue. That was the comment I was making.
