Repeater signs are not provided along roads where there is no change in the speed limit as this would lead to a proliferation of signs throughout the city. The onus is on the motorist to drive within the existing speed limit, therefore additional measures such as a radar speed sign is not recommended for Richmond Road. With respect, most of the secondary (residential) roads in that area will be included in the fourth phase of the 30 Km/h Speed Limit introduction. This proposal will be going for public consultation during summer 2019. Following the adoption, and sealing of the new Bye-Laws in the autumn 2019, works will commence to erect the relevant signage in the new areas in summer 2020. We believe that if this modification is to go ahead it would alleviate many or all of your concerns. Please note that the City Council will continue to monitor the area in the coming months. 2 7005831 Parking CLANCARTHY ROAD Dublin 5 Signage poles, bollards, or other Not Under The Road Traffic (Traffic & Parking ) Regulations, Section Member of 07/11/2018 0 Restrictions (NC) measures to prevent blocking of Recommended 36 paragraph(2) i, it is illegal to park”on a footway,a grass margin the Public access to residence. or a median strip”; Likewise Under The Road Traffic (Traffic & Parking ) Regulations, Section 36 paragraph(2) g; “A vehicle shall not be parked in any place, position or manner that will result in the vehicle obstructing an entrance or an exit for vehicles to or from a premises, save with the consent of the occupier of such premises; It is not recommended to introduce parking restrictions or notices where restrictions are already covered under the law, no parking signs, as this would lead to a proliferation of same and additional expense due to maintenance etc. Infringements of the Act is being referred Dublin Street Parking Services Ph.6022500 for enforcement under the law. 3 7006331 Yellow Box SWORDS ROAD (NC) Dublin 9 to allow right turning buses cross Recommended In order to facilitate buses exiting bus stop 205 On Swords Road Internal 03/12/2018 0 the straight ahead lane to turn and turning right on Collins Ave. a yellow box is recommended right onto Collins Avenue from a point in line with the common boundary of 97/99 Swords Road northwards for 12m in the outbound straight ahead lane. 4 7006505 TAG General SHANLISS ROAD Dublin 9 speed survey requested.
