There is also a body of work to be done on traffic calming measures, particularly near towns or other areas where people move from a lower limit to a higher one. The foot goes down and people start driving fast. Often, this is happening in areas where there are quite a number of houses and junctions. There needs to be a re-emphasis on installing mechanisms to calm traffic in such areas. I would like to get an assurance that, when local authorities look for funding of this nature, they will get a positive response from the Department.
