Traffic lights

RoscommonTom

Hello, a few of us over on the roscommon forum were trying to rack our Brians to see if their is any traffic lights in roscommon. None of us can think of any place where there is ones. Does any one know of any other counties that don't have traffic lights or are we the only ones:mad: thanks

Fr_Dougal

Hello, I'll ask the lads and get back to you.


thanks,

Dougal.

Traffic lights? Would't they need electricity first?

Rack your brians? no wonder you can't think about it :pac:

07Lapierre

your not alone. AFAIK.. Leitrim has no traffic lights.

donvito99

Leitrim got their first set of traffic lights in 2003.

Go ask the nerds in the Roads forum for a laugh.

Lenin Skynard

Roscommon isn't really a county, they just had to give a name to the big hole in between the surrounding counties.

Surely there has to be one set of pedestrian traffic lights in the town?

I stand corrected...you are alone so!

Ask Ming, he'll know.

snubbleste

I'd take the Brians off the rack first OP..

Benny_Cake

Could have sworn Boyle had some pedestrian lights at least. Isn't a chunk of Athlone in Roscommon, they'd surely have some?

Yeah, ask Ming, it's not like he's doing much else.

griffdaddy

Does the road from Dublin to Westport not have traffic lights at some stage in Roscommon?

munchkin_utd

heres some in Boyle, well pedestrian lights anyhow.

According to THIS, there is a set at St. Coman’s Park and Oakdale in Monksland.

Also, in the overview of THIS, there's a set before Groves Petrol Station.

Those are both pedestrian crossings. I think the lads are looking for junction lights.

Ah

Brendan Flowers

Isn't there a set of lights going into Athlone (beside the Army barracks and bowling alley)?

Sauve

Ya, they're totally geared towards the traffic coming off the motorway so if your coming in the N17 your stuck in a tailback out to the Citroen dealership.

There's constantly traffic lights somewhere with the council going mad for the work these days! :pac:

They've got budgets to squander! Public institutions are punished for saving money so they're wasting it left, right and centre at the moment. We got a free driveway at work they where so desperate to waste as much tarmac as they could before the end of the year.

Leitrim replaced them with pedestrian lights a year or two ago.

But the thing is Roscommon's roads are still dreadful, even with all the budgets they're trying to get rid of ! :mad:

RichT

The amount of my life I have lost at them damn level-crossing lights in Castlerea make up for the rest of the county's lack of traffic lights. :mad:

RoscommonTom

is that true about leitrim having no lights too, it means were not the only ones so

Is Carrick -on-Shannon not in Co. Shannon? Leitrim doesn't actually exist, it's simply a place parent in Sligo scare their kids with by telling them they'll be sent there if they're bold.

PizzamanIRL

Hey give me a yellow card beside my post.

OP, leave the Brians alone.

No its in Leitrim. Although anyone I know from there claim that its in Roscommon.

Even Leitrim people dont like being from the place.

RoscommonTom

They should get rid of leitrim alright, sure the road to roscommon is the only good thing to come out of it

RoscommonTom wrote: »

On the way into Athlone beside the Army barracks, Roscommon has traffic lights

Plazaman

Probably none left in the country because the fúckers in Sligo County Council have bought them all. We're wall to wall traffic lights here, even Bono wrote a song about it when he got stuck here (it was originally called City of Blinding Traffic Lights).

They never go red, there green 24hr a day.
