MOTION NO. 6

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

Motion Pedestrian Crossings push buttons This committee requests the CE to install Button free sensor systems on all pedestrian traffic lights. In light of the current environment we are living in and will be living in for sometime, any and all prevented measures implemented to assist with the battle against the virus will be welcomed by all in our county.

REPORT:

The Council's current push button units for crossing roads are designed with large buttons that make it very easy for all users. There are no locations in the County where there are sufficiently large numbers of people crossing the road to justify this intervention. However, the Council is happy to keep this under review and if locations are identified where motion sensor crossings would be beneficial and necessary then this could be considered for those locations at that point.
