I am aware that the National Roads Authority has completed a special programme for the installation of standard safety facilities at some 300 schools located on the national road network. A new sub-programme of low cost remedial measures for non-national roads was commenced in 2000 and will be continued. My Department will draw the attention of road authorities in the context of this sub-programme, as well as in the context of the use of discretionary grants under the non-national roads programme more generally, to the desirability of providing flashing lights in the vicinity of schools on significantly trafficked non-national roads.
