My Department was a major stakeholder in the design of Traffic Management Guidelines, which can be accessed at this link assets.gov.ie/30277/e3faaeaef9f74832947150bd6de1fae2.pdf.

Using these guidelines, responsibility for formulating a traffic management plan for a specific town or area lies within the remit of the local authority, working closely with the National Roads Authority and Transport Infrastructure Ireland in the case of national roads and motorways. I have no role in the specifics of local traffic management plans.
