Traffic chaos again

There was another period of traffic chaos in Kilcullen yesterday following the First Communion mass.



Because cars were parked on both sides of the New Abbey Road, traffic trying to get towards Milemill from the lights was held up until the inbound vehicles had cleared. This took more than thirty minutes.

Calls to the Garda Station were redirected to Kildare, where callers were told a traffic car had been despatched.

There have been long running complaints about the problems on the stretch of road, where vehicles park despite the existence of yellow lines.
