The Action Plan for Phase 1 to include a mix of Enforcement/Engineering/Education
6.2 Engineering Actions
Routine Maintenance – maintenance of roads in good and safe condition through planned pavement maintenance and resurfacing, maintenance and improvement of road traffic signage and road markings, and vegetation management on rural roads to maintain and improve visibility, particularly at rural road junctions. Surveys and Risk Analysis – Working with TII and the Dept of Transport and an Garda Siochana, Cork City Council will continue to carry assist in carrying out post collision inspections, identify high risk locations and prioritise those sites for road improvement schemes. For example, assisting with TII’s HD15 Network Safety Analysis for National Roads and the Dept. of Transport’s Regional Roads Network Safety Analysis. Speed Limits – In partnership with An Garda Siochana, the City Council will continue to review and update speed limit bye-laws and speed limit signage, with an emphasis on continuing the implementation of 30km/hr speed limits in residential streets and city/town/village centre environments with high levels of pedestrian activity. Sustainable and Active Travel – delivery of road schemes which facilitate and encourage sustainable and active travel, such as BusConnects, and the Cork Cycle Network, will have the potential to reduce volumes of private car traffic, and in the case of the cycle network, provide safe, segregated routes for cyclists. Road Safety Improvement Schemes – delivery of road schemes which reduce collision potential and improve road safety. Such schemes may be of varying scales and extents, for example smaller schemes such as junction realignment, pedestrian crossings and traffic calming schemes on Regional and Local Roads etc, funded by the Dept. of Transport Low-Cost Safety grant, to larger scale realignments and major upgrades/new roads on the National Roads network funded by TII/DoT.
The development and implementation of forgiving (i.e. minimising the impact of a collision) and self-explaining (i.e. easy to understand and use) infrastructure
Implement Of Low Cost Schemes , carry out a programme of low cost schemes across the county annually.
