Question 281: To ask the Minister for Transport if his Department will provide funding for the provision of flashing amber lights on the road immediately outside all schools as is currently provided for in CLÁR areas by the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. [24870/07]

The provision of road traffic signs, including the flashing amber warning lights in the vicinity of schools, is a matter to be determined by each road authority under section 95 of the Road Traffic Act, 1961.

I have no proposals to mirror the CLÁR programme on national and non-national roads throughout the country. It is a matter for individual road authorities to determine what warning traffic signs are desirable to be provided at any location and to assign funding for their signing programme.
