QUESTION NO.21

QUESTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

To ask the Chief Executive when the consultation process on the proposed change of speed limits within housing estates will be complete?

REPLY:

Work has been ongoing in 2015 to review the existing speed limits on all roads in the County.  Given the complexity of the Guidelines on Speed Limits published by the Department  of Transport and the need to review the overwhelming majority of the road network with reference to its suitability for the new reduced residential speed limit, this work has taken a considerable amount of time.

It is anticipated that a draft set of proposed speed limit maps will be brought to the Area Committees in Quarter 1 of 2016 and will then be advertised for public consultation thereafter.
