MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 24, 2018

QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

"To ask the Chief Executive to locate speed indicator signs in locations previously raised as areas with safety issues:

  1. Esker Road between Griffeen Park and Finnstown Abbey, the bend in the road results in a blind spot when exiting the estate and this location has had an increase in footfall due to the sports activities in the area.

  2. Hillcrest Junction this is due to the lack of awareness and or carelessness of road users as they approach and leave the lights at this junction.

  3. Other areas that the council management deem necessary."

REPLY:

The locations will be examined to assess their suitability. However, it should be noted that the signs are solely to deter excessive speed relative to the posted speed limit and have no function or effect on other issues.
