Question:

Durkan asked the Minister for Transport the extent, if any, to which the best possible traffic management can be brought into play to effectively manage traffic congestion on some workdays where there is an obvious need; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Transport (Deputy Jack Chambers)

As Minister for Transport I have no role in the day-to-day management of traffic.  While the Road Traffic Acts 1961 to 2023 set out the statutory basis for the regulation of road traffic, including the provision of road traffic signs and the setting of speed limits, traffic management is a function of the individual local authorities.
