Transport Minister Séamus Brennan has approved a new directional signage system for use by any of the 34 local authorities implementing orbital routes, as part of traffic management measures.
Dublin City Council will become the first local authority to use the new signage this weekend, when it erects a comprehensive network of direction signs.
They are designed to guide motorists around the city while eliminating the need to cross through the centre.
The council put up the first orbital route signs last year, but was ordered to take them down again after Mr Brennan said they were too confusing.
According to the council the redesigned signs are less confusing. The inner route signs use a blue background instead of orange, an Lár is translated into City Centre and the names of destinations are also included.
The council says the additional cost of redesigning the signs and reprinting explanatory leaflets was €20,000. The new signs will allow the council to introduce its new inner and outer orbital routes.
As well as the signs, a new traffic restriction will be introduced. Cars will be banned from driving straight onto College Green from Pearse Street. Instead, they will have to turn right onto Tara Street. The new routes and the new restrictions will come into force on Tuesday.
