Donnelly asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the measures used to analyse congestion on major roads in County Wicklow; the locations these measures are in place; when these measures were installed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 483 and 484 together.
As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. The planning, design and operation of individual roads, including traffic analysis, is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) under the Roads Acts 1993-2015 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.
Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy’s question to TII for direct reply. I ask the Deputy to advise my private office if he does not receive a reply within 10 working days.
