MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor David McManus

To ask the Chief Executive to review the timing of the green/amber pedestrian lights on Rathfarnham Road (from Credit Union to Rathfarnham Castle) to ensure sufficient time and if the traffic sensor exiting Rathfarnham Wood responds to cyclists waiting on the road?

REPLY:

The traffic section has increased the amber crossing times by 3 seconds, which increases the crossing time to 19 seconds on all crossing points.

 I can also confirm that the cyclist detector sensitivity has been increased to the maximum level on the Rathfarnham Wood arm of the junction.

These improvements should improve pedestrian and cyclist safety at this junction.
