Ceist:206 Mr. Bell asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the reason the existing standard roof sign as displayed on taxi vehicles does not conform to the Road Traffic (Lighting of Vehicles) Regulations (Restriction on Colours) (reg 41) which states that a vehicle's lights must be yellow or white to the front and red to the rear as the current sign when illuminated clearly shows an amber light to the rear of the vehicle; his views on whether the current design of this roof sign could be a traffic hazard and if the rear panel of the taxi sign should display, when illuminated, the colour red; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
