I’d argue we din’t need new ideas, we need enforcement. Currently trucks and artics are whizzing through clonard village in blatant disregard of speed limits. As I argued here, this alone negates the increased safety to pedestrians through reduced traffic after the M4 opening. [...] […] Sicilian Notes is asking what new ideas are there to prevent deaths.

At aguess the traffic is prbably going 5 mile an hour faster <strong>on average</strong> so the figures for fatalities are going to be reduced a lot 35mph versus 40 mph being a significant difference. But there again the traffic never went through the village at the speed limit so I guess it's a question of sooner or later there will be a fatality. B. P.S. Can you verify that kinnegad is really upgraded? I don’t think your figures are accurate but I don’t think they are that far off either.
