Galway Bay fm newsroom – Galway City Council has voted to install traffic lights on the Shangort Road in Knocknacarra.
The motion was submitted by Independent councillor Donal Lyons at the start of the year in response to what he has described as a very dangerous situation at the junction with the Clybaun Road.
In response to councllior Lyons’ proposal, the Local Authority said “the signalisation of the Clybaun Road/Shangort Road is currently being considered as part of the Galway Cycle Network Stage 2 Project which will go on non-statutory public consultation in Q1 2021”.
At this week’s Council meeting, councillor Lyons said the proposed installation cannot wait as increased traffic coming from the Kingston Road direction, Joyces’ Supermarket and the Western Distributor Road has led to a number of accidents recently.

Galway Bay fm newsroom – The City Council is being asked to urgently install traffic lights at a busy junction on the Clybaun Road.
Councillor Donal Lyons says the junction with Shangort Road has experienced increased traffic volumes in recent times.
He says vehicles coming from the Kingston Road direction, exiting Joyce’s supermarket and from the Western Distributor Road have all contributed to the high level of traffic.
He argues this has resulted in a number of traffic accidents at the junction – clearly demonstrating the need for traffic lights.
Councillor Lyons says the matter must be progressed as a matter of urgency.
