Joe Neville on the roads

Councillor Joe Neville (FF) has received several replies from the South Dublin County Council's Roads Department to questions about the DSW area:

• In regard to his request for the provision of a pedestrian crossing at the top of the opposite side (south bound) off ramp on the Knocklyon/M50 Interchange, Cllr Neville has been informed that a traffic count is being carried out at the location.
• Regarding Tallaght Village, it has been reported that traffic flows will be returned to their original configuration once works underway there have been completed. However, the traffic lights sequence on the N81/Old Bawn junction will be examined, especially the evening right-turn onto the Old Bawn Road from the N81.
• There are no plans to erect “No Parking of HGV’s" signs in Glenview Park Estate, as this matter was already dealt with by the erection of signage on all roads entering and exiting the County.
• The Bus-only exit adjacent to The Square cannot be modified to allow taxis to also use the exit. The mechanism which changes the traffic lights at this location to allow buses through cannot differentiate between taxis and private cars.
• The roundabout at Tallaght Hospital will be provided with new road markings once building works in the area are completed. It has been determined that the pedestrian lights in that vicinity are in the optimum position and will not be moved.
• Pedestrian light phasing at the Belgard Road/Embankment Road junction will be part of the 2007 works.
• The turn from Ballymount Road, Kingswood onto Belgard Road cannot be provided with a left filter lane due to insufficent room to create a left-turning lane in the road.
• Following problems with all-day parking by passengers on the nearby LUAS, Belgard Heights, the Heath and the View may get double-yellow lines subject to formal consultation with the Garda Commissioners Office. A yellow box is to be provided on the road at Kingswood View and the Old Belgard Road. There are no plans to change the existing island at Embankment Road/Kingswood, Luas Station, which is considered to be adequate.
