asked the Minister for the Environment if he will consider the introduction of legislation to place a statutory obligation on local authorities to erect prominent cautionary traffic signs outside all schools.
Written Answers. - School Traffic Signs.
936.
Road authorities are empowered to provide traffic signs subject to the consent of the Garda Commissioner and the Commissioner can also direct a road authority to provide a sign in a particular location. I am satisfied that road authorities are aware of their responsibilities in this regard and I do not consider it appropriate to seek to impose a statutory obligation as suggested by the Deputy.
