Cul-De-Sac sign Dublin Road, Lusk
Question: Councillor B. Dennehy
"To ask the Chief Executive to carry out the request of Question 58 at the
Balbriggan A Area meeting of February of 2019 where the following request was
submitted and reinstate the previously existing sign "To ask the Chief Executive
to provide an
opposite the existing one at the
entrance to the Estate at the Dublin Road, Lusk due to the number of vehicles
entering the Estate assuming it is a through road" and where the following was
carried out " This lane was incorrectly signed as the Dublin Road which may have
led motorists to ignore the existing Cul-De-Sac signage. The existing Cul-De Sac
sign should suffice when the street name plate has been moved to the correct
location. The resulting actions have the potential to (as happened previously)
where Emergency Services have ended up in other area's of Lusk when out
responding to emergencies. The Cul-De-Sac sign requested should have been
placed on the right hand side of the entrance to the Estate pointing to traffic
coming from the Murray's corner side of Lusk which would have complimented
the existing sign which faces in the other direction?”
Reply:
The Council has removed the Dublin Road nameplate from the entrance of
Dublin Road Cottages Lusk. It is not considered necessary to erect two cul-de-sac
signs at this location.
