On 18 April 2005, I issued guidelines on the application of special speed limits to the county and city managers. Copies of the document have been placed in the Oireachtas Library and the guidelines are also available on my Department's website www.transport.ie under Roads — Publications. In addition, Traffic Management Guidelines, jointly published in May 2003 by my Department, the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and the Dublin Transportation Office, set out guidance and advice to local authorities on speed management and traffic calming generally. The deployment of speed and traffic calming measures is a matter for the determination of local authorities. A copy of this publication is also available in the Oireachtas Library.
