Councillor McGarvey tabled a motion to the January meeting of the Letterkenny-Milford Municipal District. He called for a relocation of the existing traffic light signage and for further signage to be erected if necessary.

The local authority said a a review of the signs will be carried out ‘and if amendments are required they will be arranged’.

Councillor McGarvey said his concerns are ‘urgent’ and his motion was seconded by Councillor Liam Blaney.

“It is like a race track coming around there,” Councillor McGarvey said. “The lights sign hits you and then the lights. Someone will get cut in two.

“This area of road is increasingly busy during summer months and the signage should be before the corner.”
