MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MOTION NO. 11

MOTION: Councillor E. Murphy

To ask the Chief Executive to react to the national legislation passed recently on safe passing distances for overtaking cyclists and investigate the provision of  signage and roadmarkings throughout the County to advocate for a safe passing distance of 1.5m. 

REPORT:

SDCC supports in principle measures that will improve the safety of the cycle environment for cyclists and where these measures will lead to more people cycling. The DoT and NTA are providing updated guidance and once finalised SDCC will assess how best to put in place these new signage requirements to advocate for safe passing distances to reflect the new legislation.
