Hi-tech traffic flow system

AN electronic traffic management system is to be installed at Cork’s newest multi-million shopping centre at Mahon Point.

The system, called MOVE, will use sensors to ease the flow of traffic at the junction to the centre and on slip roads to the centre and retail park.

Meanwhile, anchor tenants Debenhams and Tesco have indicated that trade is up to expectations for the first three months at the centre. Trade at Debenhams has been on a par with the Dublin store, a bigger store which opened nine years ago, according to store manager Ian Deegan.
