MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor Peter Kavanagh

This County Council agrees to prioritise vulnerable road users when engaging in road works throughout the county, ensuring that, where possible, cycle lanes are accommodated and footpaths are unobstructed.

REPORT:

The Roads Department assesses Road Opening Licences and Traffic Management Plans for all proposed works on the SDCC Road Network. Where possible a requirement is included to retain cycle lanes. If that is not possible in a particular location, signage is erected advising the cyclists to dismount and use the footpath facilities which must be provided. It is a requirement of licenses issued to contractors that diversion routes are kept unobstructed.
