A range of new regulatory traffic signs was prescribed in the Road Traffic (Signs) Regulations 2006 (SI No. 637 of 2006).

Work is well progressed on the review of the Traffic Signs Manual in relation to non-regulatory traffic signs. As an interim measure, a direction was given to road authorities on 7 February last in relation to a revised Chapter 8 on temporary traffic measures and signs for roadworks and the authorisation of other new non-regulatory signs including those required for the operation of road tunnels.

It is intended that the review of the remaining Chapters of the Manual will be completed later this year and that any amendments required in relation to regulatory traffic signs identified in the review will also be pursued.
