MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, February 12, 2024

QUESTION NO. 31

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

To ask the CE what is his policy to ensure that all roundabouts across the County are properly named? 

REPLY:

Roundabouts are named in relation to their geographical location to provide directional information for road users (subject to the guidelines and criteria associated with any roundabout sponsorship scheme in operation) and are not named after individuals or events.

Roundabouts are not necessarily a permanent road feature as road junctions and intersections can be subject to alteration to meet traffic management requirements, and roundabouts may be removed or changed to signalised junctions. For this reason the above guidance is applied.

Any proposals to name infrastructure should be considered in line with the Council's agreed Naming of Infrastructure policy and should be considered by the Naming of Infrastructure Committee if appropriate.
