Cork Road Safety Working Together Group Local Road Safety Plan
4.2 Evaluation of previous Road Safety Plan The previous road safety plan 2016-2020, was extended due to covid and covered the period up to 2022. Both Cork city and county carried out speed reviews during the lifetime of the plan and increased the number of 30kph zones particularly in residential areas. Covid had a huge effect on road safety as it greatly reduced the number of cars on the road and with that, we saw a significant reduction in road deaths but also it had an effect on enforcement with particular a change of focus on Garda checkpoints during that period. Covid also caused a change in how road safety education was delivered with a move from in person, with road safety education being delivered online.
