Speed Limit Review

One issue that usually raises an argument is speed limits. So, whether your bothered by the 100 kph limit on the M50, or think that some roads should be 60 kph, and not 50, roads engineers will be available to meet the public about this issue during the week:

"Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council has invited the community to a series of informational meetings next week as part of the Council’s review of speed limits within the County. The information days are open to all, and Engineering Staff of the Traffic Section will be available at both meetings to answer any questions on the proposals.

The meetings will take place in County Hall, Marine Road, Dún Laoghaire, 4 - 8pm on Tuesday 20th January 2009, followed by a second meeting in Dundrum Council Offices in Dundrum Office Park, Main Street, Dundrum, 4-8pm on Thursday 22nd January 2009. The proposed speed limit bye-laws include a range of measures which will improve safety for all road users, particularly those most vulnerable, and should help reduce the impact traffic has on the environment. A number of areas will be included in a pilot 30kph scheme, and other changes have been made in an effort to better match the maximum speed allowed to local road conditions. All changes will
comply with the current national speed limit structure.

Members of the public are welcome to submit observations on the scheme no later than 16.00 on Friday 30th January 2009. If anybody has particular accessibility needs or requires the information in different formats, please contact the Traffic
Section in advance on Tel. 01 2054375."
