Our Journey Towards Vision Zero action plan

South Dublin County Council launched their Road Safety Action Plan 2022 – 2024 which outlines 27 key actions that supports the work of the 5th Government Road Safety Strategy (GRSS) 2012 – 2030 ‘Our Journey Towards Vision Zero’.

Vision Zero is Ireland’s long-term goal of achieving zero road deaths or serious injuries by 2050. The council recognises that while a combined national approach is required to make a noticeable and long-lasting change to our roads, Local Authorities have a responsibility to work at the local level to bring about this change.

The council have statutory obligations under the Roads Act 1993, but also have a social obligation to the people of South Dublin County and all those who traverse our roads network.

Creating the safest roads possible and raising awareness among road users of the risks associated with roads and promoting responsible behavior when using them, is an extremely high priority for South Dublin County Council.

The council’s action plan aims to identify areas where we can promote and improve road safety within our County.

In addition, they will create and publish annual action plans to help support our 2022 – 2024 plan and use 11 Safety Performance Indicators (SPIs) to help monitor our road safety performance.
