Speed limits to fall in Kildare housing estates
The public will be consulted
Speed limits are set to fall to 30 km/h in housing estates that have been taken in charge by Kildare County Council.
According to KCC engineer Dónal Hodgins, mapping of areas likely to be affected is talking place and the public will also be consulted about the change.
He was responding to a call by Cllr Mark Leigh for speed restriction measures for the Coneyboro estate in Athy “to improve road safety for residents.”
It was pointed out, at an Athy Municipal District committee meeting, that the roads in the original section of Coneyboro, which was taken in charge in 2014, will be included in the proposals for a 30km/h speed limit.
It is anticipated that the mapping and scheduling for the public consultation exercise will be completed in the coming months.
