Traffic Calming Measures
Road development works may, because of improved riding surface or increased road widths, promote increased traffic speeding on approaches to roundabouts or on approaches to built-up areas. The Council may introduce measures such as rumble strips, or in the case of built-up areas, traffic calming schemes within the boundaries of 50 km/h. speed zones, involving the redevelopment of the road in cross sections. Proposals for traffic calming measures must be forwarded to the Garda Commissioner and notice published in the paper allowing a period of one month for representations to be made in writing to the Council. The decision to provide or remove traffic calming measures and the consideration of representations is a function of the elected members of the Council.
