As I stated in my reply to Question No. 577 of 18 October, 2005, it is the responsibility of all motorists in all circumstances and on all road types, including dual carriageways and motorways, to drive in a manner that does not give rise to danger to themselves or other road users. That responsibility relates in particular to the speed at which vehicles are driven, even where the speed is less than the prevailing speed limit.

The proposal presented in association with the Deputy's question will be considered by my Department in the context of the review of the Traffic Signs Manual, acting on the advice of the National Roads Authority and the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. It is intended that the review of the Traffic Signs Manual will be completed later this year and that any amendments required in relation to regulatory traffic signs identified in the review will be pursued at that time.
