Traffic lights

RoscommonTom · 2012-12-10 14:31:44

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::confused: thanks

Traffic lights? Would't they need electricity first?

Leitrim got their first set of traffic lights in 2003.

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

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?

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.

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.
