Every junction, crossing, path and bike lane on the old Dublin Road in Portlaoise is being reviewed with an eye to creating a safe Masterplan for the road’s future.
The news was announced at the February meeting of Portlaoise Muncipal District, after two pedestrian crossings on the road received complaints about their dangers.
The crossing at Colliers Lane and The Killeshin Hotel are unsafe says Cllr Catherine Fitzgerald.
“The Colliers Lane roundabout is not sufficient for the traffic it gets. This is an ongoing issue. A huge number of residents are coming out from Colliers Lane and Hawthorne Drive using this area. It’s not safe, either crossing. A lot of people are driving straight through. I believe we really need to look at it again from a safety point of view,” she said.
