REDUCED SPEED LIMIT REMOVED AT DANGEROUS CREGMORE JUNCTION

Date Published: 15-Oct-2010

Signage indicating a 50-kilometre speed limit on the approach roads to Cregmore Cross has been removed.

The signage was erected earlier this year after a lorry crashed at the school, but no reason has emerged for its removal.

The issue was discussed at a meeting in Cregmore National School last night.

Spokesperson for Cregmore Area Residents Association, Liam Higgins says they can't understand why the reduced speed limit was removed.

The latest design by Galway County Council for a staggered junction was presented at last night's meeting, however locals say it's still aimed towards the school.

Galway West TDs, Noel Grealish and Frank Fahey attended the meeting and it was suggested to locals that they put together a quality report to present to the National Roads Authority.

Liam Higgins says parents should not have to bear the cost of such a report.
