Pedestrian crossing is needed on busy Kildare road
Speeding cars and a large amount of trucks means that a pedestrian crossing is needed in Naas.
Cllr Bill Clear said, at a Naas Municipal District meeting, that the feasibility of an uncontrolled crossing should be examined at Blessington Road.
He said it should be put in to link the Elmwood area with Friary Road “given that there is a significant population on the east side of the road trying to access the town and schools safely.”
He was supported by Cllr Anne Breen, who said “it’s nearly impossible to get across the road.”
KCC indicated that an assessment of the location to determine whether a pedestrian crossing is warranted at this location and if so, what type of crossing could be provided “in accordance with current regulations and guidelines.”
