Cllr Domnick Connolly has asked Roscommon County Council to put up additional ‘no overtaking’ signage at Mount Prospect, Fuerty. The Fuerty-based public representative is worried that a serious road accident will happen unless safety measures are introduced urgently.
Cllr Connolly said, “Roscommon County Council needs to erect ‘no overtaking’ signage at the junction where the L7109 Brackloon/Mount Prospect Road connects with the busy Roscommon-Creggs R366 road.
“The signage needs to face towards Roscommon, to deter overtaking by cars travelling towards Fuerty and beyond.
“Currently there’s a ‘no overtaking’ sign on the R366 at Ardkeel, which is several hundred metres closer to Roscommon. This is effective in deterring people from overtaking on the hill there, but it’s not effective at stopping overtaking at the subsequent junction.
“There’s a real risk of an overtaking vehicle colliding with a vehicle turning onto the R366 from the side road. I have raised this with Roscommon County Council engineers as a priority issue for the local community”, he concluded.
