Seanad debates

Wednesday, 5 February 2003

I welcome the reduction in road deaths, as everybody does. I am not begrudging about it and I congratulate the Minister on having introduced the penalty points system. Everybody must welcome the fact that a large number of people are alive today who would not be alive were it not for the introduction of these measures. However, there must be consistency and coherency in road signage and changes in the speed limit. It is absurd to have changes in the speed limits down from 70 mph, to 50, 40 or 30 mph with no real justification and without adequate signage. I instance coming into Dublin in the direction of Kingsbridge, through the Inchicore area, where there are several changes for which there is no real reason. One does not anticipate them because the road stays exactly the same, yet for some unexplained reason there is a change.
