Roads Bill 2007 [Seanad]: Committee Stage
3:00 pm
Paddy Burke (Fine Gael)
I move amendment No. 1:
In page 3, between lines 12 and 13, to insert the following:
""barrier-free tolling" means any mechanism or system whereby motorway or other road tolls can be collected without the need for the obstruction, slowing, stopping or other delaying of the vehicle being tolled;".
Amendment No. 11 is a technical amendment and proposes a pass system, such as E-Toll or E-ZPass, which can be used on all roads. The present system, in which there is one payment mechanism for some toll roads and another for other roads such as the Dublin Port tunnel, is not driver-friendly.
