Waterford City and County Council proposes to undertake the construction of a traffic calming scheme in the form of a Pedestrian crossing with a raised table area to facilitate a safe crossing point along the L4209 at the junction of The Fairways and Lighthouse Way.
The scheme includes the narrowing of the junction into The Fairways to allow for easier pedestrian crossing and the construction of a new footpath to this controlled crossing point. The implementation of the traffic calming scheme will create a safe environment for all road users with a strong emphasis on nonmotorized road users including pedestrian access to the primary school and the church.
The drawing is available below. However a copy of the drawing and details of the proposal are also available on request from Aideen Jacob, Administrative Officer, Roads Department at the email address below or by contacting 0818102020 from Wednesday 27th September, 2023 to Tuesday 24th October 2023.
