The Beggars End junction, between Naas and Blessington
There is “no adherence” to the speed limit at a dangerous junction, beside Punchestown Racecourse, since a section of the road was resurfaced.
Cllr Evie Sammon told a Naas Municipal District meeting that the Beggars End junction on the Naas to Blessington route “is becoming more and more dangerous."
Cllr Sammon said the road does not need an assessment “to tell us that it's dangerous."
She said drivers coming from Naas and Blessington are "shooting through the junction” and there is no place there that could be used by a speed detection vehicle.
Cllr Sammon said many drivers use the route to get to Dublin and it's used as a detour when an accident occurs in the N7.
Kildare County Council said a traffic assessment at the location “is still outstanding and will be added to the list.”
