QUESTION NO.20

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask the Chief Executive for a report on how the speeding in residential estates will be enforced despite a lot of money spent on signage and to ask that SDCC consider using social media, newsletter etc. to encourage drivers to slow down in residential estates.

REPLY:

Speeding in residential estates is firstly a matter for the Gardai and reports of specific speeding issues should be reported to them. Such matters raised through TMM are followed up by Gardai. A review of the effectiveness of the reduced speed limit in residential estates is underway and speed checks form part of this. A report will be prepared on this matter.

The Road Safety Officer is involved in targeted promotional campaigns in respect of road safety which are promoted through all social media outlets and newsletters.
