ITEM NO. 37
Question: Councillor B. Dennehy
"To ask the Chief Executive to provide speed ramps in Brookford Estate Rush in
order to slow down the traffic within the Estate?”
Reply:
Traffic-calming ramps are typically installed on the main access roads into large
residential estates and particularly on residential roads which are destination
routes, through routes or ‘rat-runs’. Their purpose is to deter unnecessary
traffic use by traffic users from outside of the particular residential area.
The Brookford Estate in rush is not a destination route or rat run and the roads
within the estate are primarily used by residents of Brookford. It is not proposed
to place ramps in the Brookford Estate.
Issues of speeding or dangerous driving are an enforcement issue for An Garda
