Naas traffic lights don’t “recognise” some bicycles.

Cllr Colm Kenny asked if reviews are done by the council on traffic lights.

It emerged at a Naas Municipal District meeting that bikes made from carbon — as opposed to metal — don’t register with some traffic light sensors. This means that cyclists obeying the signal have to wait for vehicles to arrive to activate a light change.
