QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor L.Guéret

To ask the Chief Executive for a report on the roads which are the responsibility of South Dublin County Council. Report to include if there is a regular maintenance programme with regard to road line painting of white lines and yellow boxes.

REPLY:

In accordance with the Roads Act 1993, as amended, the Council as Road Authority, has responsibility for the maintenance of public roads over which a public right of way exists.

Road Maintenance carry out an annual road repair programme that includes the upgrade of roads, footpath, cycle tracks, QBCs, drainage and road markings. 

With respect to roadmarkings, these are not renewed on a routine basis but as they are required. Markings that need renewal are identified by roads inspectors/engineers and also reports from members of the public and elected members.

If there are road markings at a specific location causing concern please contact road maintenance with the details
