A TRALEE councillor said something must be done about the occasional traffic build-up he says is caused by customers queuing on the main road for the drive-in service at McDonalds restaurant at Rathass.

At the meeting of the Tralee Municipal District of Kerry County Council on Wednesday, Fianna Fáil Cllr Johnnie Wall asked that the Council engage with the management of the restaurant as to what can be done to stop their customers’ cars queuing on the main road.

“It’s highly dangerous,” he said. “I’ve driven in from the Castleisland side and there’s a line of traffic back to the roundabout. Something has to be done.”

He said if you try to pass out the line, you’ll be met by oncoming traffic. He said the only solution seems to be more parking adjacent to McDonalds to deal with the overflow of vehicles.

In reply, Tralee MD management said it will raise this matter with An Garda Síochána, as the road traffic authority, at the next Collision Prevention Meeting as it is fundamentally a road traffic issue.
