1124. Deputy John Curran asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the legislative provisions required to implement and enforce variable speed limits on the M50; when this legislation will be introduced; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36535/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraTransport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has proposed the introduction of variable speed limits on our motorways, particularly the M50, in the interests of both safety and traffic management.
My officials are currently examining this proposal with a view to identifying any legislative changes which may be needed, and if it transpires that primary legislation is indeed required, provision will be made in the current Road Traffic Bill which is under preparation in my Department.
