That the Manager arrange that the traffic and pedestrian controls at Kennelsfort Road/N4 junction be examined and that measures and specific plans to resolve the chronic traffic chaos be put in place to make this critical crossroads safe for pedestrians, cyclists and motor vehicles. At present (1) vehicles stop “over” the pedestrian crossing on Kennelsfort Road Upper making it extremely dangerous especially for children on their way to school (2) vehicles coming from the Village turning right or going straight ahead are given very little “Green” time and there have been a number of near misses (3)the barriers on the median are not sufficient to deter or discourage pedestrians from surface crossing and need to be extended (4) it is impossible at present to get even a modest funeral from St. Philomena’s Church through the lights and it should be possible with the CCTV at this location to manage the traffic better (the promised bias towards traffic from Upper Kennelsfort Rd to the Village at -10.00am –daily Mass time and on week-ends especially Sundays does not appear to be implemented).
