QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor David McManus

To ask the Chief Executive to examine measures to reduce the speed of cars turning from Glendown Road onto Cypress Drive, Templeogue - given there are no speed ramps at the start of Cypress Drive, and if a statement is available?

REPLY:

This is a signal controlled junction. The radius of the kerbs and alignment of the line marking is such to facilitate emergency vehicles and utility vehicles (e.g. bin trucks) navigating the turn. There are existing traffic calming measures, in the form of ramps on Cypress Drive.
