Statutory responsibility for the provision of traffic signs, both regulatory and non-regulatory signs, and responsibility to comply with the statutory format laid down for such signs, rests with each road authority.

The statutory directions that the Minister for Transport has given to road authorities in relation to the display of text on traffic signs are set out in the Traffic Signs Manual (a copy of which is available in the Oireachtas library) and in particular chapters 1 and 5 thereof.
