Letters to the Editor: Do we get traffic lights for free in Navan?

Dear sir - I work mostly from home in Navan, on the Ratholdren Road. I see the traffic outside my house from 7.45am until 9am every morning, kids being dropped to school and people trying to make their way to work.

I was thrilled when I heard they were building a new road to link up with the Kells Road as I also have to commute to Dublin one day a week.

There are six sets of lights to get me from my house to the Ardboyne as long as I leave early - as in 5am - I’m fine, otherwise I’m screwed.

I was coming home the north Navan side and now there are delays that side with more traffic lights.

And now to make it worse there will be traffic lights to get onto the new road then traffic lights at the roundabout and then traffic lights at Beaufort nursing home. Seriously the town is a joke to get around. It’s a complete nightmare.

Did we get traffic lights for free? At least with a roundabout the traffic is more free flowing. It has just gone to hell.
