It is a matter for the National Roads Authority, NRA, to ensure that motorways and dual carriageways are equipped with appropriate containment barriers in accordance with the NRA's design manual for roads and bridges. The NRA, as a matter of practice, keeps road design standards, including safety aspects, under regular review.
