MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 26, 2016

MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

"Can the Chief Executive provide a reason why there are “yield” signs at the following locations:

Cornmill Road  - (exiting/entering ontoN4)
Lucan Spa Hotel - (exiting/entering onto N4)
Compared to a “stop” sign at:
Kew Park - (exiting/entering onto N4)

And to explain why all 3 locations can’t be “stop” signs which would increase road safety."

REPORT:

"The junctions in question, including the signage, were designed and installed as part of the N4 scheme. This scheme was not designed by SDCC so SDCC is not privy to any individual design decisions. However generally speaking the main criteria in chosing between STOP and YIELD is visibility.  Entry angle, radius and gradient may also be factors. The locations have all been fully safety audited and comply with all guidelines and requirements."
