Long-awaited funding allocated for west Donegal pedestrian crossing
The area has seen multiple collisions, and safety measures have been called for
Funding has been allocated to install a pedestrian crossing at An Chrannóg.
Located in Gaoth Dobhair, the site lies on a 60 km/h stretch of road with broken lines. The area, which hosts businesses and night classes, has seen multiple road traffic accidents over the years.
In November, works to install a pedestrian crossing will be carried out. Speed cameras and signage have previously been set up.
Sinn Féin councillor John Shéamais Ó Fearraigh has been highlighting the number of collisions and the dangers along this stretch of road.
“Great news! I've been informed that money has been provided to install a pedestrian crossing here, where there have been so many traffic issues in recent years,” Cllr Ó Fearraigh said. “This is great news for the local community and well done to everyone who helped push to make this a reality.”
