But Mannix is a member of Dublin City Council Traffic and Transport SPC which gives him a reason to be involved

I was just about to post that, on the grounds that it's partly in South Dublin, and because our old friend turns up.

That's not why he's getting involved.

The irrational anger that man seems to be harbouring 24x7 can't be good for his health. It's certainly not good for the residents of Dublin who would like cleaner air, safer roads and healthier living.

The utter predictability of it. As I said before, this is on mannixflynn.com, so he's aware that support of purely hypothetical schemes plays well with voters that aren't paying that much attention to what he actually gets up to:

They wont like that but it's just a number plucked from thin air really and no one will adhere to it. I regularly get passed by people doing 70 and 80 on 30km streets near my house.

Is the 5 axle ban going ahead as well, great news for everyone if this is enforced but I doubt it.

Large increase in Bleeper bike usage in Blanch/Castleknock, Portmarnick and Blackrock & Dun Laoighre in the last year...

Maybe throw in some footpath parking enforcement for good measure.

Thelonious Monk · 11-03-2021 05:03PM

I thought this was quite good and sums up the response to Sandymount

We'll remind you and continue to do bugger all about it.

Given how the Garda do it themselves and don't enforce it, you can't really blame people for parking on footpaths, I think most people aren't even aware it's illegal.

A neighbour complained a couple of weeks ago about people parking on the footpath in the estate, that she couldn't get her buggy by. Last weekend her husband's car was parked fully on the footpath outside their house, despite the fact there's a space in the driveway for it.

People are aware it's illegal and wrong, but do it because they just don't think about it.

The 30 kph speed limit on Strand Road isn't enforceable. The Council are full of shyte.

Enforceable speed limits need a new bye-law, even road works limits. That requires a minimum consultation period. Putting up signs is just that.

The bloody Council should make good their works instead of looking to duck responsibility.

I thought you were all about not wasting tax payers money?
Why make good the works only to redo them in a couple of months time?

30kph limit excellent, will make my daily cycle on that road far more pleasant.
If they enforce it...
They should put average speed cameras on it. I think they did during the M7 roadworks didn't they? Borrow some from the port tunnel

Road works speed limits are issued by order of the Chief Executive. Not bye-laws. This is why they're called "Road Works Speed Limit Orders" and not "Road Works Speed Limit Bye-laws".

Here's a sample Road Works Speed Limit Order from South Dublin County Council, Larbre34.

Would you like to move your goalposts?

good for pedestrians too, I cross that road a lot, so if I can judge 30K correctly it will be up to the cars to slow down not me needing to speed up

Quick, to the crowd funding support machine...

In fairness, I'm sure they'd love to make food the work they started, but they were told to drop tool pending a court case which seems to be an even bigger waste of public money.

Yeah I know....

Show me the exec order from DCC and we'll talk. The Garda RPU can take months to respond to those things, DCC have offered no evidence of the their order. Lets see what happens with actual enforcement or is it just more bull from the frustrated executive at DCC
