SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, October 23, 2018

MOTION NO. 6

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

That this Area Committee asks the Chief Executive to revisit the road design/layout on the Newcastle road in particular the location opposite the Supervalu back entrance. An onsite meeting took place at this location last year and although some measures were put in place along this stretch unfortunately car accidents continue to regularly occur at this location.

REPORT:

Measures have been taken at this location to assist traffic coming onto the Newcastle Road from the back entrance to Supervalu. The road on which this entrance is located is a private road. However, all the necessary road markings and signage (regulatory STOP line and STOP sign) are in place. The Council also provided a YELLOW BOX on the Newcastle Road to assist the exiting traffic. There is also the option for exiting traffic to turn left first and go north to the roundabout and then to travel south.
