QUESTION NO.17

QUESTION: Councillor H. Farrell

To ask the Manager if traffic studies on vehicle speeds have been (or intend to be) carried out in the greater Hillcrest area, in particular, in Meadowview Grove and environs, following reports of excessive speed during daytime hours, despite ramps being in place.

REPLY:

The Traffic Section has recently conducted speed surveys on nearby routes, including Griffeen Road, Adamstown Road, and Dodsborough Cottages. However, no speed surveys have been conducted on Meadowview Grove to date.

The findings from the completed surveys indicate that the average vehicle speed is below the posted speed limit, while the 85th percentile speed (the speed at or below which 85% of vehicles travel) is approximately 5% above the speed limit.

Should further speed assessments be required for Meadowview Grove and its environs, the Traffic Section can consider this in future survey planning.
