10. Councillor Murphy

In view of the traffic problems on Straffan Road, Maynooth particularly at the morning peak that the council considers the role played by the traffic lights at the junction with Main Street, Main Street and Mill Street and Main Street and Kilcock Road, we consider what changes can be made specific to morning peak times, if turning off some of the lights for these times would contribute towards a solution and if so how pedestrians can be safely accommodated.

That the council examine moving the single white line on the road outside Ryevale Tavern, Leixlip to a point closer to the Tavern to allow other traffic to pass whilst a stationary vehicle is turning right into Tavern car park.
