SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, June 22, 2016

MOTION NO. 22

MOTION: Councillor E. Higgins

"As we don't have a TMM until after the summer can this be taken at ACM?

Can the Council investigate whether an orchestrated and timed interference with the traffic lights at the roundabout at the top of Fitzmaurice Road would alleviate the traffic congestion in Rathcoole village during commuting times." 

REPORT:

 It is best practice and Council policy to use pedestrain crossings only to stop traffic to allow pedestrians to cross and for no other purpose.

Crossings which go red in the absence of a pedestrian demand encourage poor driver behaviour.
