MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, January 12, 2026

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor Y. Collins

To ask the Chief Executive how long it typically takes for single yellow lines and associated signage to be installed once it has been approved at a Council Traffic Management Meeting.

REPLY:

Once relevant statutory road markings and signage eg single / double yellow line parking restrictions and associated signage have been considered by the Traffic Section, local consultation is undertaken eg through letter drops to affected residents.

Where no significant objections are received, the proposed single or double yellow line measures are submitted to An Garda Síochána for statutory approval.

Following Garda approval, the works are programmed for delivery. In general, installation is completed within 8 to 12 weeks from approval, subject to contractor availability, weather conditions, and the overall traffic management works programme.
