    Yeah the traffic light s at the school/lollipop lady isban absolute killer. Its grand once ye pass the school .They should install barriers along the footpath and a three minute car flow/ one minute pedestrian crossing system in place. Something to this effect would solve the problem. Traffic was backed up to near the finglas side of the bridge the other morning.

    You want to try to force school children to wait three minutes to cross a relatively minor road to a school in a residential area?

    Is it just me or has this made any difference to other people in the morning? The queues on the Ratoath Road are still crazy

    Traffic expands to fill available space.

    Yep. Or delay their start time until 10am. Spend all that money on a bridge only to be held up on the far side by a set of lights at the busiest time of day

    All the usual selfish suggestions from motorists:

    Start the schools later
    Let the students wait etc etc

    In a congested urban area, any changes to the system will tend to resolve themselves in 2-3 weeks. In this case, there is no new capacity at the existing junctions, so people who used to take other routes are now filling this route, while other are filling the gaps created.
