MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 11, 2018

MOTION NO. 6

MOTION: Councillor P. Foley

"That this Area Committee requestes the Chief Executive is aware that speed on the St. James’ Road area is a massive problem. The residents report that the roundabouts on this road are not being observed and that the road markings and lineage on St. James’ Road be reinstated and, as part of these works, that the roundabouts are fully painted to make them more prominent and more identifiable to motorists."

REPORT:

The junction of St James / St Josephs has recently been re-lined including the painted roundabout. The remaining 2 roundabouts at St Brendans Crescent and St Finbarrs have been listed for re-lining by the Area Engineer. All 3 roundabouts are indicated on St James road by advance signage in both directions.

The speed limit on St James Road is 50kph. SDCC Traffic section have been informed of the concerns that this is possibly being exceeded. This matter will be raised with the Gardai at the next Traffic Management meeting.
