SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, March 28, 2023

MOTION NO. 20

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

That the Council commits to immediately amending the current confusing and potentially dangerous positioning of the right turn arrow boxes at the busy school access entrance to Woodview and Airlie Heights, Lucan, off the Dodsboro Road, irrespective of where sensors were laid originally; or hopefully reports on works carried out since this motion was submitted some weeks prior; and if a statement can be made on the matter.

REPORT:

Our Traffic team has looked at this junction and agree that the current new right turn boxes are not working and are causing confusion.  

The Traffic Team are going to carry out a number of actions:

1. Shorten the bull noses of the pedestrian islands to allow more vehicular turning room.

2. Relocate the right turning boxes away from each other to allow clear movement sweep for each right turning lane.

These actions will be carried out as a matter of urgency.
