There are several housing estates using the same access point

Locals have started a petition, calling for action to calm the traffic.

The petition says " Residents have been raising this for some time now, however Kildare County Council and the Ballymore Group have not come up with a solution. 

We need actions now. We appreciate all the support we can get so we can have our concerns heard, so we would greatly appreciate if you could please sign this petition to help us raise awareness."

Niamh Esmonde lives in Bellingsfield at Piper's Hill.

Speaking to Kildare Today, she says she has witnessed numerous near-misses at peak school travel time.
