MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.10

MOTION: Councillor P. Foley

"The standard marking of a white triangle for yield on cycle lanes is confusing and should be clarified.  Younger cyclists, who are not of a driving age and not familiar with the rules of the road, may not be accustomed to this road marking.

I would like to suggest that the word 'Yield' is used instead of the white triangle marking (or added to the white triangle marking) to eliminate any confusion and improve overall safety on cycle lanes.  If this motion is passed at Area Committee, it should be forwarded to the relevant SPC for their consideration."

REPORT:

"This is a national standard and one county county could not be seen to implement a non standard policy. Our Road Safety Officer will be circulated on this matter and he may prepare a list of standard symbols for inclusion in the schools curriculum."
