Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 27 September 2006
1084 Ms O. Mitchell asked the Minister for Transport the status of the proposed change of high grade dual carriageways to motorway designation; if this has now been agreed; the kilometres of road that will be impacted; the date for the change over; and the cost of necessary signage changes. [28695/06]
View answerThe issue of re-designating certain high quality dual carriageways as motorways, subject to certain prescribed criteria, is one of the measures which I am considering in principle in the context of a proposed Roads Amendment Bill 2006. I hope to bring the Bill before the Oireachtas before the end of this year. The specific parameters of such a measure, if it is agreed have yet to be determined.
