TRIAL PROGRAMME TO TACKLE SPEEDING IN CITY
Date Published: 18-May-2012
A new pilot programme is due to be launched to tackle speeding problems in the city.
The programme involves installing speed radar signs that detect and display the speed of approching motorists.
It follows a notice of motion put forward by Cllr Donal Lyons on behalf of concerned residents of the greater Knocknacarra area,
The signs are due to be put in place on the Shangort and Bothair Stiofain roads.
The signs which can cost up to 5,900 euro have been found to be successful in bringing down the speed of general traffic.
When the data is collected at these locations, it will be assessed and considered for future permanent use.
