Another TD suggested a guideline for motorists passing pedestrians on roads without footpaths.One Government TD has asked the Minister for Transport to run a public awareness campaign telling pedestrians to wait for vehicles to stop before crossing at a designated pedestrian crossing, while another has asked for safe distance guidelines for motorists passing by pedestrians on roads without footpaths.Both issues were raised as written parliamentary questions. The first was asked by Cathal Crowe, a Fianna Fil TD for Co Clare, who asked the Minister if his Department, in conjunction with the Road Safety Authority, will run a public awareness campaign to highlight that pedestrians should wait for vehicles to stop before crossing at a designated pedestrian crossing; and if he will make a statement on the matter.Designated pedestrian crossings include zebra crossings where motorists and cyclists must yield to pedestrians who are waiting to cross, and those who have commenced to cross, and signal-controlled crossings in Ireland rarely have a conflict with motorists.Meanwhile, Sen Kyne, a Fine Gael TD for Galway West, raised the passing-distance suggestion.Deputy Kyne asked the Minister .whether he will engage with the Road Safety Authority to advance safe distance guidelines for vehicles passing by pedestrians, similar to the 1 and 1.5 m guidance for overtaking cyclists; and whether he accepts that pedestrians walking on country roads with no footpaths are equally vulnerable to being struck, injured or killed as cyclists and guidelines would assist in reducing such accidents.Both questions were answered jointly in writing by the Minister for State with responsibility for road safety, Sen Canney.Joinor Minister Canney said: Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has responsibility for the promotion of public awareness of road safety and of measures, including the advancement of education, relating to the promotion of the safe use of roads. In order to inform these road safety measures, the RSA receives both coronial and collision data from An Garda Sochna.Given the RSAs responsibility in this matter, I have referred the Deputies questions to the RSA for direct reply. I would ask the Deputies to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days, he said. Canney said: Pending this response, the Deputies may wish to note that Budget 2027 increased funding to 20 million for road safety awareness, education and campaigns aimed at all road users, including vulnerable road users. The RSA website also includes specific safety advice aimed at pedestrians.He added that the recent October bank holiday Road Safety Appeal was jointly launched by An Garda Sochna and the Road Safety Authority and focused on pedestrian safety.
