Cars are 'ending up in residents' front gardens because of dangerous Kildare road'
Concern has been expressed over the amount of damage caused by the collisions
Cars are ending up in the front gardens of local residents because of the need for road safety work.
A call for road safety issues to be addressed at the Perry Street crossroads in Ballymore Eustace was made by local councillor Evie Sammon.
Cllr Sammon said a local landowner was willing to accommodate a solution such as “staggering” the junction because a vehicle recently finished up in this person’s garden.
Cllr Sammon told a Naas Municipal District meeting that the amount of danger and debris created by those accidents is significant.
Cllr Sammon said she had first talked to local people about the issue some years ago and a solution is still awaited.
KCC engineer Daragh Conlan said that the junction was included in the first ten projects identified in a “junction improvement project.”
However, he added, works have not progressed any further because a number of other junctions have been prioritised. These junctions are at Allenwood and Blackwood Cross in west Kildare and Watchhouse Cross on the Naas to Ballymore Eustace road.
He added it’s hoped to “to look at this junction once (these) have been addressed.”
