HGV Management Strategy (Post Port Tunnel)

Victor

Dublin city Council will be going to public consultation on implementing a HGV Management Strategy for implementing when the Port Tunnel comes on line. It will primarily be used to moderate the number of HGVs going though the Canal Cordon area at peak times. The consulation will be over the next 6 weeks or so.

Any comments on the actual survey (comment on the strategy later)?

I'm nitpicking a little, but they could have used a more up-to-date map of Dublin for that pdf.

The Chapelizod bypass doesn't exist apparently. It's only the main road west from Dublin port :rolleyes:

It will be interesting to see if drivers with 4x4s pulling 3 axle Ifor Williams type trailers (total 5 axles) will comply!

There are still a few 'artics' running on 4 axles. Does this mean that they do not require a permit? Seems a bit odd!

Its phase 1 of a scheme to eliminate/reduce HVG over a number of years.

Lets see what enforcement there will be :rolleyes:

But they wouldn't be classed as HGVs, would they?

They would not be classed as HGVs

Yes, point taken - I just focused on the no. of axles.

HGV Management Strategy

---

The HGV Management Strategy will come into operation on the 19th of February, 2007. This strategy prohibits 5+ axle vehicles from travelling within a cordon area of the city from 07.00-19.00 Monday to Sunday.

It is recognised that it is not possible to completely ban all 5+ axle vehicles from day one and that industry needs time to change their delivery vehicles and their methods of operation. It is also recognised that a number of these vehicles will still need access to the cordon area during the cordon hours.

To meet such access needs, HGV cordon permits will be issued to allow a 5+axle vehicle to be within the cordon area on designated roads to make load/unloading stops at listed premises.

These permits will be available online via the Dublin City Council web site from 13th February, 2007.

Commercial organisations operating inside the cordon and wish to continue to receive deliveries using 5+ axles vehicles should register their premises online via the Dublin City Council web site by 1st May 2007.

This "Premises Registration System" will be available from 1st April, 2007.
