That this Council changes the traffic speed sign of 100 km per hour at the top of Lewis road leading onto the by-pass. A more suitable, "reduce speed sign" should be put in place.
Reply:
The 100 km per our sign at the top of Lewis road leading on to the by-pass cannot be changed as the speed limit on the by-pass is 100km per hour. A "reduce speed" sign can be put in place in a suitable location. This will be in place within the next six weeks.

May I ask: Why are we (again) going to use "local-minded" road signs with just the text of one language (English) when standardised internationally recognised symbols already exist?
The reality is that Killarney being so reliant on tourism is an international town for many months of the year, so I really think as many signs as possible should be internationalised. That makes perfect sense at least to me.
For example, why not use the standardised (!)Warning Sign of which there is an example at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Zeichen_101.svg
One source of the road signage problems in Ireland is that Ireland is one of the few countries that chose not to refer to the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals: it's an international treaty designed to increase road safety and aid international road traffic by standardising the signing system for road traffic. Time to get international with our road signage.
