Red Cow

I was coming in by car from Naas this morning and the traffic was mental. It shouldn't have been cos the schools are off and it's Friday.

The problem was the Red Cow Roundabout. And I think that problem was related to a back up at the Westlink.

It got me thinking. I remember few months ago I flew in at peak traffic time. I couldn't understand it?? Then i got to the Red Cow and the lights were out.

The cops were directing the traffic and there was no problem at all. None!!

So why can't they (or similarily trained individuals) do that everyday. (Happens in france) It would save massive hours stuck in traffic and would cost less than €300,000 p/a. It would solve the problem until the interchange is upgraded.

Or at the very least assign two cops to keep an eye on people's behaviour.

In fact they needn't be cops. Just dress two clerks from the barracks up and put them standing at the junctions. Then people might thtink before causing obstructions
