QUESTION NO.5

QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

To ask the Manager to report on the new signage on the M50 and the N4 and to state if he is satisfied that it is acceptable and accurate and if it is deficient what remedial action is proposed to set it right given the number of motorists who complain of missing their lane, some of whom have reported near missed due to drivers attempting to switch lanes at the last minute?

REPLY:

All signage being put in place is in conformity with design standards and the National Roads Authority signing strategy. Drivers should pay attention to the overhead gabtry signage to ensure that they are in the correct lanes and at appropriate speed. It should be bourne that M50 and the N4 are still construction sites with works still ongoing.

Any deficiency in signage will be rectified.
