MOTION NO.32

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

That the Chief Executive, in progressing to the scheduled external stage 3 road safety audit on the works at Griffeen Road entering various roads at Moy Glas, Griffeen Glen, Elmwood and Esker Meadow, facilitates an on-site meeting with residents and Councillors to address genuine concerns with visibility and the safe passing of larger vehicles at these junctions, some of which are prone to illegal parking, so as to provide an optimum, safe solution that reduces speeds and protects vulnerable pedestrians and cyclists.

REPORT:

Road Safety Audits are due to be carried out on the upgraded junctions in the coming weeks. The junctions are designed as per the Design Manual for Urban Roads and Streets and the National Cycle Manual.

The road safety audit is not about finding optimum solutions but about identifying potential risks and allowing the design team to action them as necessary.

A member of a road safety audit team has to have passed an audit course and carried out on site training and for this reason it would not be appropriate for other people to attend this audit.

We would be happy for you to prepare a report outlining your concerns and we can ensure that the road safety audit team read this in advance of the site visit. This will ensure that the relevant items you have concerns about are assessed as part of the audit.
