MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

" To ask the Chief Executive to examine the sequence of lights at the Finnstown Cloister and the Adamstown junction on the Newcastle road. There is a problem with traffic exiting Adamstown turning left with an Amber light not realising that cars turning right exiting from Finnstown Cloisters have right of way. It would be safer if Adamstown left exit was red when traffic from Finnstown Cloister are exiting and turning right?"

REPLY:

The flashing amber signals on the left turn exiting Adamstown requires exiting traffic to yield to all other traffic incuding that exiting Finnstown. This is a standard arrangement in place in many locations throughout the County and allows for more efficient use of this busy junction.
