Traffic lights or crossing needed at Naas junction

Paul O'Meara, 14 Jun

Kildare County Council has been asked to put in traffic lights at a

junction on Blessington Road, Naas

Cllr Anne Breen said this is needed at the the exit/entrance junction

from Elmwood and Chestnut Hill on to the road, Naas “in the interests

of road safety and proper traffic control.”

Donal Hodgins, a KCC engineer, said the area will be examined by KCC

staff “when resources permit.”

But he added it should be noted that the junction is located in a 50

km/h zone and it’s a mature cul-de-sac estate, with adequate

sightlines at the entrance.

Separately, Cllr Fintan Brett asked KCC to examine the possibility of

providing a crossing on the Blessington Road from Elmwood “to

facilitate wheelchair users, children and other pedestrians in the

estate.”

This request will also be assessed.
