Busy roundabout at the South Douglas Road looks set to be replaced with a signalised junction

It's likely traffic lights will be installed at the South DoughlasRoad/N40 off ramp in West Douglas following concerns from locals

The plans had to be revised due concerns raised by local residents when initial proposals suggested merging the N40 off-ramp with the road into Willow Park and Ballincurrig Court housing estates. 

There was no provision for traffic lights, with a yellow box the only measure included to allow residents access to the estate.

Local councillors claimed that this could leave residents 'marooned' in the estate.

Revised plans, which include a set of traffic lights to ease access difficulties, will come before Cork City Council on Monday evening, now include traffic lights to ease access.
