‘No time for pedestrians to cross busiest roads’

There have been calls for a review of pedestrian crossing times in Cork City following complaints that people aren’t being given enough time to cross some of its busiest roads.

Cllr Henry Cremin (SF) led the call last night after officials turned down his request to lengthen the timing of the ‘green man’ lights at Dennehy’s Cross — between Cork University Hospital and University College Cork — in the western suburbs.

Mr Cremin had asked officials to examine the timing of the pedestrian crossing lights here after the daughter of an elderly man complained to him that her father was finding it increasingly difficult to cross the road in the allotted time.
