Questions— 14 February 2012. Written Answers
The improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads is a statutory function of each
road authority within its area, in accordance with the provisions of section 13 of the Roads
Act, 1993. Works on such roads including the installation, maintenance and operation of traffic
lights are a matter for the relevant local authority. The safe operation of traffic lights and the
potential for energy savings are also a matter for each local authority.
Regarding the potential for energy savings on national roads, I have referred the Deputy’s
question to the NRA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you don’t receive a
reply within 10 working days.
