Question 83: To ask the Minister for Transport when he will push the revised traffic signs manual; the reason there is such a delay in publishing this updated manual which had publication deadline of the third quarter of 2006 and for which the National Roads Authority was awarded a contract for publication in 2008; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Work on the comprehensive review and updating of the Traffic Signs Manual is continuing. This work involves a number of working groups deliberating under the guidance of my Department and the NRA and with the assistance of consultants. I understand that the content of the revised Manual is expected to be finalised during the second quarter of this year.

Amendments to the Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations and the Road Traffic (Signs) Regulations will be required to underpin new provisions in the revised Manual and publication is not envisaged until the secondary legislation is completed.
