QUESTION NO. 9
QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell
B0701 What does low cost remedial measures cover and any example from 2012?
REPLY:
Low cost safety measures relate to specific locations with an accident history. A cost benefit analysis is carried out based on an application submitted by the Council and if approved is funded by the Department of Transport via the NRA allocations. Things such as junction definition posts, cats eyes, signing and single post chevron signs are provided to enhance traffic and pedestrian safety. A recent example would be Peamount Hospital where anti skid surfacing, traffic calming signage and a pedestrian signal were provided.
