FAQs
Why are you proposing 40km/h for Tullamore Estate and no other streets nearby?
Unlike other residential streets, Tullamore Estate has narrow street layouts, defined access points and sensitive land uses that make it a clear candidate for a 40 km/h speed limit zone.
Tullamore Estate attracts traffic from residents and visitors to its gym, cafe, walking trails, parks and playgrounds. The mixed use of the estate means roads get busy. A slower speed limit would create a safer environment for everyone moving through the estate.
Have you got support from the Department of Transport and Planning to reduce the speed limit?
Yes, we have in-principal support from the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) to reduce the estate speed limit to 40km/h, subject to community consultation.
Will a reduced speed limit make the roads safer in Tullamore Estate?
A 40km/h speed limit will help make Tullamore Estate safer for everyone. Even small reductions of just 5 to 10km/h can significantly reduce the likelihood and severity of crashes. Lower speeds mean fewer accidents and near misses, creating a safer shared space for children, older adults and families.
