QUESTION No. 15

ORWELL ROAD/HEIGHTS - TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES

QUESTION: Councillor E. Walsh

"To ask the Manager to review the operation of the traffic calming measures at Orwell Road and Orwell Heights in view of complaints from local residents and will he make a statement on the issue?"

REPLY:

Traffic calming was provided at this location to combat unacceptable driver behaviour. This location is within the 50 km/h speed limit zone.  Vehicles exceeding this limit may be causing the "alleged noise disturbance" as they traverse the ramps.  The issue of speeding on this road will be  referred to the Gardai for enforcement.
