A number of local residents have welcomed a change to the road layout in Waterford city which aims to improve traffic flow in the area.
Fine Gael councillor Frank Quinlan has highlighted the removal of a number of bollards which had previously prevented a right turn at the top of New Street.
Cllr Quinlan welcomed the change in a post on social media, describing it as “good news”.
He continued: Finally, you can turn right up New Street onto Barrack Street, Mayor’s Walk and Ballybricken, rather than being directed where you do not want to go.
“Lights are now extended on Stephen’s Street to allow more traffic through three merging roads.
“This is something I’m after asking for for some time now and [I’m] very happy the road engineers finally listened.”
A number of Waterford residents welcomed the news in the comments section of the post.
One local woman wrote: “Thanks Frank - that’s great news!”
Another woman commented: “Thanks Frank. It’s about time some common sense has prevailed.”
“Wow! This is good news and less stress”, a further person wrote.
