The Traffic Signs Manual (TSM) constitutes a Ministerial Direction to road authorities under section 95(16) of the Road Traffic Act 1961, and is available from my Department's website.

The TSM stipulates the traffic signs to be used on Irish roads, their layout and symbols, the circumstances in which each sign should be used and the rules for positioning them.

Work towards updating the Manual is at an advanced stage and it is expected to be completed during 2018.

The erection of traffic signs is a matter for the relevant road authority.
