MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, May 09, 2016

QUESTION NO.1

QUESTION: Councillor B. Bonner

Has any progress been made in relation to the commitment made to undertake a public education campaign on the correct use of zebra crossings?  With the trend towards the increased installation of such zebra crossings County wide, there is a real safety issue, and it appears that both drivers and pedestrians do not know the proper protocol.  Also, could the issue be raised at the policing forum so that Gardai Countywide might be encouraged to enforce the law in relation to zebra crossings.

REPLY:

While driver education is a national issue and is the remit of the RSA, the matter will be discussed with the RSA and the other members of the Road Safety Together Working Group.  The possibility of a joint publicity campaign between the RSA and SDCC will be examined.   The matter will also be raised at the Policing Forum.
