Our estate needs a speed ramp

Hi,

I have been repeatedly informed by Dublin City Council that our estate does not meet the criterion for speed ramps, as detailed below:

  • The road should have a straight run of approximately 200 metres.
  • The 85th percentile speed (speed exceeded by 15% of vehicles) should exceed 50km/h.
  • Traffic volumes should exceed 60 vehicles per hour.
  • There should be genuine road safety concerns based on accident statistics or observed road safety patterns or a written report from an Inspector in the Garda Traffic Division, Dublin Castle, relating to an issue of safety.

Please, can anyone let me know of a speed ramp that was installed even though it fell below the above requirements.

Thank you for taking the time to think about this.

I can't comment on Dublin but living in an estate in a country town and most of the estate roads have at least one speed ramp. Mines a cul de sac and I doubt if 60 vehicles go down it in a day not a mind an hour.
