SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TERENURE-RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE (1)

Tuesday, May 06, 2008

QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor M. Ardagh

"To ask the Manager to consider the installation of a traffic island on Templeville Road opposite the entrance to Templeville Park to discourage motorists doing U-turns and to further ask the Manager what other options are available - as well as improved signage - at this location?"

REPLY:

It is not proposed to install a traffic island on Templeville Road at Templeville Park as it is considered that such a measure would impede access by large vehicles such as emergency vehicles, refuse trucks etc.  It would also result in traffic exiting from Templeville Park being only able to turn left.

There are currently 2 U-Turn prohibition signs located on either side of the entrance to Templeville Park.  It is proposed to install an additional sign on Templeville Road immediately prior to the junction with Templeville Park advising motorists coming from Templeogue/Rathfarnham of the prohibition of a U-Turn at Templeville Park.
