261. Deputy Roderic O'Gorman asked the Minister for Transport if local authorities use a national standardised ramp design for ramps placed on public roads to slow traffic; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [71334/25]
View answerThe improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads is the statutory responsibility of each local authority in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Roads Act 1993. Works on those roads are funded from local authorities' own resources supplemented by State road grants.
The design of speed ramps on public roads is the responsibility of the local authorities. The relevant standards for the design of speed ramps are set out in the Traffic Management Guidelines.
