The provision of traffic signs is a matter for the road authority concerned and I understand that signs of the type mentioned by the Deputy have been provided by some of these authorities.
Regulations under the Road Traffic Acts do not prescribe a sign to give advance warning of a pedestrian crossing and consequently there is a lack of uniformity in such signs. A review of the regulations is at present proceeding and I hope to be in a position to prescribe a standard sign which could be used by road authorities generally.
