Answer

Following on from previous correspondence, officials have arranged for Automatic Traffic Counters (ATC`s) to be positioned along the Ballyrobert Road. However given the current Covid-19 restrictions it would not be deemed appropriate to install these measures until February/March 2021 when traffic patterns are likely to be more reflective of normal levels therefore providing a more realistic outcome.

This information will then be assessed in conjunction with the Department’s guidelines, entitled Roads Service Policy and Procedure Guide (RSPPG) E051 ‘Setting Local Speed Limits in Northern Ireland’.
