The objective of the Limerick Road Safety Plan 2023-2030 is to create a greater awareness of road safety through our stakeholders to reduce the number, severity and life-changing impact of road collisions in Limerick by advancing Vision Zero in adherence with the Government Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030.
The Aims of the Limerick Road Safety Plan are:
- To create a safer road environment in Limerick for all road users
- To improve co-operation between the agencies and groups represented on the Road Safety Working Together Group
- To improve road user behaviour by co-ordinating public education and awareness and to ensure compliance by the public with all relevant legislation
- To support the aims and targets set out in Ireland’s Government Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030.
The Limerick Road Safety Working Together Group plays a vital role in road safety promotion, together with its statutory obligations under roads and traffic legislation. The ambitious road safety targets set in the plan can only be achieved through multi-agency co-operation, together with road users taking personal responsibility for their behaviour.
The Limerick Road Safety Working Together Group is led and chaired by Limerick City and County Council. The group meet four times a year and has representatives from Limerick City and County Council, An Garda Síochána, emergency services, and community organisations.
