There's an 8 week trial to see how the residents get on with it being closed off. Reckon it was just so busy with people using it as a short cut to avoid the lights. Traffic lights now need a left filter light if it's to stay (which I suspect it will)

People who live on the rat runs don't want their kids mowed down?

Never happened in the many years prior. Same with Sarsfields. Ridiculous anti-car stuff. Drivers do watch where they are going, thats why its not happened before. The lights there were completely unnecessary, a fine example of a council spending their budget "because they have it" rather than on anything necessary (the same sh1t that held up Garycastle bridge from getting funding)

It's only been a rat run for a year? Previously was a quiet little back road.

I agree that the council have gone nuts with traffic lights around all the exits from the dual carraigeway and I wish they would remove half of them, but given that the lights went in, it was a no-brainer to close this shortcut. i was amazed they didn't do it as part of the same works.
