Some of the signage sends people astray because it leads to townlands. That is a major issue. As regards kerbing at junctions on that same road, I presume the same applies throughout the country, although I am not an engineer, it was obvious that would cause accidents as has duly happened, and it has been moved back. An engineer was not needed to point out the danger initially. When a bypass is completed, as a public representative I find that local authorities say the NRA is responsible while the NRA says the local authority is responsible. From our point of view there is a need for a clear distinction in terms of who is responsible.
