Kinsealy's Traffic Nightmare: How Much Worse Does It Have to Get?

As developers build on green field sites - The road infrastructure remains outdated
The Kinsealy community is facing a critical and escalating road safety crisis at the Malahide Road, Baskin Lane, and Chapel Road junction. Despite years of complaints and documented near-misses, including a recent ambulance crash, no traffic calming measures or safe pedestrian routes have been implemented. The situation is worsening with new housing developments being built without the necessary infrastructure, leaving residents, especially children going to and from schools and people with disabilities, to navigate dangerous conditions on outdated, narrow roads. The community feels that authorities, particularly Fingal County Council, are failing to act, and is urging for immediate and decisive intervention to prevent a tragedy.

Why is this important?

The campaign is important because it's about preventing a tragedy before it happens.  The current infrastructure is a direct threat to public safety, particularly for the most vulnerable people in the community, such as children, the elderly, and those with disabilities. 
Rural outdated roads are in a built up urbanised setting. 
Trucks mount pavements which is a real danger
It's also a question of fairness; as new housing is built, the existing community should not have to bear the burden of an outdated and dangerous road network.
