Make the Clarecastle Link Road Safe. Reduce Speed; Safe Verge for Walkers & Cyclists
The posted speed limit on the Clarecastle Link Road is 50km/hr. BUT traffic regularly travels >80km/hr on this road in both directions. There is a serious accident waiting to happen on the road due to speeding motorists.
Deploy speed reduction options, including updated signage (including flashing speed warning sign), traditional speed limit signs, etc.
Address the dangerous narrow sections of the road at the bend-- move wall and hedgerow back to provide space for safe verge for pedestrians and cyclists to travel safely alongside motorists on the road.

Why is this important?
The current state of motorists speeding on the road is an accident waiting to happen. The 50km/hr speed limit is largely ignored, and the condition of the road-- a residential stretch of 2 km of road-- makes speed motorists an even more dangerous situation.
Before someone is gravely injured or killed, make the road safe for everyone.
