🚧Cork County Council will be treating all Priority 1 and Priority 2 routes tonight. However, it is important to never assume that any road surface is treated and to continue to drive with caution in icy conditions. 🚧

➡️ The Winter Service Plan with P1 and P2 route map is available on our website: https://www.corkcoco.ie/en/resident/roads-and-transportation/severe-weather-information-warnings-road-alerts

⚠️Weather Warning⚠️

Met Éireann has issued a Status Yellow - Low Temperature/Ice warning for Munster.

In effect: 18:00 Saturday 03/01 to 11:00 Sunday 04/01.

Cork City Council has implemented its Roads Winter Plan with crews salting roads. Crews will be on standby during the warning.

Due to conditions:
➡Please drive with extra care and attention, slow down, allow more time for your journey and expect the unexpected. Roads may be icy not only in the mornings/nighttime, but sheltered areas may remain icy during the entire day.

➡Low winter sun – given the clear skies, drivers may be blinded by the bright winter sun which will be low in the sky and could potentially dazzle drivers unexpectedly.

Blocking bus stops makes it difficult for a driver to safely let passengers, including those with disabilities and limited mobility and older people, on and off the bus.
It also causes delays for other motorists.
Be sound and Keep It Clear.

There’s talk of reducing speed limits to 30 km/h in all built-up areas in the new year, and while the intention is good, we need to be honest about what actually works.
Lowering the number on a sign won’t stop speeding on its own. If that were the case, speeding wouldn’t already be a problem in existing 30 km/h zones. People speed because they know there are no consequences.
What we really need is:
📸 More traffic cameras
🚨 Automatic penalty points
💸 Proper fines that actually hurt.

Without real enforcement, changing 50 to 30 on a sign is just wishful thinking.
If the goal is safer neighbourhoods, then enforcement has to be part of the solution.
