Seanad debates

Wednesday, 5 February 2003

The last point I want to make relates to speed limits, a subject mentioned by Senator Norris and other speakers. There does not seem to be any consistency in the manner in which speed limits are determined at different locations. Senator Norris mentioned the problems in south Dublin. I am sure all Senators could refer to similar anomalies. If the Department has issued guidelines to local authorities to help them to determine the speed limits for different areas, such guidelines need to be brought to the attention of engineers. When an elected representative makes a request for a change in the speed limit in a specific area, he or she should be able to have a rough idea of the limit that will be imposed.
