MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"To ask the Chief Executive to present a detailed report on the installation of a new UTC/SCOOTS traffic signal coordination system at Grangecastle Road; and on the feasibility of installing a similar system at Newcastle Road in order to address local motorists' concerns regarding the contribution of traffic lights sequencing to traffic delays, particularly at the N4 overbridge?"

REPLY:

The SCOOT UTC at Grangecastle Road is currently being installed and will be commissioned as soon as possible. As previously discussed the delays on the Newcastle road are less to do with the linkage of signals and more to do with the lost time at the signals at the Hillcrest junction. However the matter is being examined and a pilot scheme is to be implemented in the New Year.
