Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Pedestrian Crossings.
If the provisions of Section 36 of the Local Government Bill, 1954, at present before the House, are enacted it will be possible to make satisfactory regulations dealing with traffic signs. These will in turn enable the Commissioner of the Garda Síochána to take such steps as he considers desirable to enforce articles 9 and 16 of the General By-laws for the Control of Traffic, 1937, or such amending by-laws under Section 147 of the Road Traffic Act, 1933, as he considers necessary.
