Ms Anne Graham:

They are being added at the moment. We have to ask the Department to amend the regulations to allow for a traffic light at those particular locations. The signs manual currently requires a high pole in four locations at a crossing and we are looking to reduce the pole for a pedestrian level crossing. That is not available in the signs manual but as soon as that is in place, we will be putting them on the street. We are trying to adapt to come up with the best solution for all users and are always open to any suggestions on how we can make things even safer.

We believe we have the best option in terms of providing information at bus stops and ensuring those bus stops can be seen. The head plate, which is where the information is, and the carousel are outlined in yellow. They stand out and are distinguishable from other infrastructure on the street. I accept that some people do not agree that they are as visually distinctive as the yellow poles would have been. The poles were the solution for Dublin but were not being provided outside of that county. A different colour was being used but we are trying to standardise the bus stops to ensure they are visible at a distance.
