QUESTION NO.12

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask Chief Executive to report on how many speed indicator signs are in place within the County, and to comment on their effectiveness and if there are plans to increase the number of signs.

REPLY:

There are 16 no. Speed Display signs throughout the county. The signs are at locations identified by An Garda Siochana as having compliance issues with speeding.

Indications are that the signs have a positive effect on speeding which is close to the posted limit but less so at higher speeds. Is also appears that effectiveness decreases with time.

An additional sixteen sockets are being installed to allow rotation of the existing stock of signs and a limited number of new signs will be considered.
