Road safety concerns raised in Clane, Kilcock, Maynooth and Derrinturn

Kildare Co Council has been asked by local politicians to examine and remedy a number of road safety issues in north Kildare.

Councillor Padraig McEvoy has asked that vehicle speed measurements are undertaken on the Clane Inner Relief Road and that the need for traffic calming is considered.

Councillor Paul Ward also requested the Council to place some road safety signs on the Old Bog Road, Kilcock to alert road users to use caution at this location?

Meanwhile, Councillor McEvoy has asked that that the damaged traffic calming signage, northbound on the R403 entering Derrinturn is repaired.

Elsewhere, Councillor Réada Cronin wants the Council to put in place a series of bye laws to govern usage and behaviour on Carton Avenue, Maynooth.

The issues will be raised at the local municipal district meeting on January 11.
