The Diswellstown Road traffic calming scheme (aka speed ramps) is on display and open for submissions until Friday 9 April.

The scheme appears to consist of 12 speed cushions over 1.3km (almost 1 every 100m) and another 2 on the stretch between St Patrick's School and Spar roundabout.
Each speed cushion will have a small traffic island that narrows each lane by approximately 75cm (from 3.75m to 3m).

The 2.6MB PDF showing the details of the scheme is on the FCC web site.
