Naas Gardaí crack down on road users breaking red lights

Naas Gardaí crack down on road users breaking red lights A NUMBER from the community of Sallins expressed concern over motorists breaking red lights where children use the pedestrian crossing in the centre of Sallins near the Pizza Dog restaurant.

Naas Community Gardaí have responded to these concerns by monitoring the area where they found “numerous” motorists breaking red lights and issued them Fixed Charge Penalty Notices (FCPNs).

FCPNs were also issued to motorists who were holding mobile phones while driving.

The Gardaí said in a social media post: “Continued enforcement will be maintained to help keep our communities safe.” 

“Remember the Rules of the Road and Road Traffic Legislation. If you break it we'll enforce it.” 

Local Fianna Fáil Minister James Lawless TD and Councillor Carmel Kelly are working with Naas Community Gardai to try a resolve the problem.

Deputy Lawless said “I have received several representations from residents raising concerns of the persistent problem of traffic breaking these pedestrian lights.” 

“Both Councillor Kelly and I raised this with Naas Community Gardai who conducted traffic enforcement recently at this location with six people being caught for traffic violations” 

Deputy Lawless continued: “However the Gardai are continuing their regular enforcement at this location with their presence in the area remaining over the recent weeks. The Gardai will continue this enforcement going forward.”
