Residents give students’ traffic petition green light

STUDENTS are shouting “stop” as hundreds of schoolchildren are forced to cross a busy road — without a pedestrian crossing.

More than 1,200 schoolchildren daily run the gauntlet of heavy traffic on the streets of Carrigtwohill.

A petition, collected by schoolchildren and containing 1,500 local names has been sent to Cork Co Council demanding immediate implementation of traffic calming measures.
