Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 4 October 2006
302 Mr. Costello asked the Minister for Transport the proposals he has for the general regulation of heavy goods vehicles in respect of parking in urban areas and in respect of rat running through narrow streets and roads to avoid tolls or to take short cuts; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31261/06]
View answerStatutory provisions are available to road authorities since 1997 to address the regulation of traffic, the application of restrictions on access by heavy goods vehicles to public roads and the application of parking restrictions by heavy goods vehicles at any location. The decision to apply such regulatory measures is a matter to be decided upon at local level by each road authority. I have no role in relation to local traffic management plans.
