10 Year Wait For Increased Traffic Calming Measures On Sallins-Naas Road, Says Councillor

It comes as those living on the road are experiencing huge issues in entering and exiting their estates

There are calls for improvement to traffic calming measures on the Sallins-Naas road.

It comes as those living on the road are experiencing huge issues in entering and exiting their estates near Naas GAA club.

Councillors have been calling for a yellow box to be installed, as well as requests for a traffic assessment of the road.

Speaking on Kildare Today, Fianna Fáil Councillor for Naas MD Carmel Kelly says people have been raising concerns about it for years:

"There isn't one Councillor in the Naas area, probably in the last 10 years, who hasn't put forward a motion on these two estates, asking for a yellow box."

"We've been shot down every time."

She also asked if a calibration had been added, while also saying that she will request a traffic assessment of the road.

According to Cllr Kelly, the council haven't gone ahead with a yellow box due to it not meeting the "numbers criteria" to warrant action on the road.
