Cllr Niall McNelis is delighted that work has started on School Zones measures at a number of locations.
The Galway City Council has been successful in a funding application and these initial measures comprise the laying of coloured spots and road markings outside selected schools. This is to raise road users awareness that they are entering an environment where there is a school - and to encourage slower speeds.
A tender for full School Zones designs for all schools in Galway city is also being progressed at moment.
Subject to continued funding, designs will be progressed for a number of schools each year, with a view to making the front of school environment safer for children as they arrive to school. — Cian O’Connell
