Call for action on ‘hugely frustrating’ traffic light sequence in Waterford city
A Waterford councillor has made the call in a post on social media
A call for action has been made on a “hugely frustrating” traffic light sequence in Waterford city.
Fianna Fáil councillor Jason Murphy addressed the issue in a post on social media.
In the Facebook post, Cllr Murphy wrote: “One of the most frustrating traffic light sequences in Waterford - Claremont junction with the Cork Road at Ballybeg.
“Often the cars are backed right up to Sunrise Crescent waiting on a fleeting left hand turn filter arrow to appear.
“I have requested that this sequencing is addressed as soon as possible to correct this hugely frustrating occurrence.”
A number of local residents supported Cllr Murphy’s call in the comments section of the post.
Meanwhile, Fine Gael councillor Frank Quinlan said he lodged the issue with council management two years ago.
However, he said that he was told that priority was to be given to the main thoroughfares, particularly given that they are bus routes.
Cllr Quinlan concluded by saying that the sequencing needs to be changed in the morning and evening in particular.
