MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor Alan Hayes

To ask the manager if SDCC will undertake a thorough reassessment of the junction light timings at the Kennelsfort road and R148 with a view to increasing green light time for Kennelsfort road traffic. In the coming weeks there will be circa 200 truck movements per day in and out of the Vincent Byrne site where construction is underway and already there are significant daily delays on the Kennelsfort road upper, merging with R148. The increased truck movements will compund this problem.

REPLY:

The signal timings at the junctions of Kennelsfort Rd and the Oval with the R148 are optimised based on demand from all approaches . The locations will be monitored to ensure that delays are minimised for all the current demands.
