MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, January 14, 2019

QUESTION NO. 21

QUESTION: Councillor M. Ward

To ask the Chief Executive for a report on the yellow traffic signs with black shapes (photograph attached) that have been erected recently throughout the County.

What are they for?

What cost was this to the Council?"

REPLY:

These are the M50 Major Emergency detour route signs.

When a major Emergency occurs on the M50, the traffic management centre in conjunction with the gardai and affected local authorities activate the emergency route. The activation is communicated through the Variable Message Board overhead gantry system on the M50 and relayed through all the media traffic channels. There was no cost to the Council.
