Road signage need help

Heatmachine1

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place to post,mods feel free to move it.
Basically my niece was knocked off her bike last nite when out visiting us.
Luckily only a bit of bruising,we live rural down a small bodhrain where only local traffic will use it to access the houses here.
Its only a matter of time before soneone is killed as they speed on parts of it,I want to erect safety signage and speed limit signs.
Who do I go to about this,any info appreciated as there has already bern animals killed next its a child I fear.

Your local county council and/or councillor might be able to help, or at least point you in the right direction.

Two lines of approach are possible: pester politicians/officials to get something official sorted out, or get together with your neighbours/resident's association/community group to sort out something more informal (perhaps while also pestering county council staff and elected representatives.) If the road is mainly for local access there might also be other ways and means of reaching the people you need to reach than putting up signs.

One thing it's always totally worth being paranoid about when it comes to signage is that it can be a hazard in its own right when it blocks key sightlines and makes pedestrians or cyclists basically invisible to drivers (or approaching trams invisible to pedestrians, or whatever - there are obviously lots of permutations and combinations but the bottom line is that there are locations where it is better to be able to see what you're doing than to have information about it but a poorer view of what you're at).
