Calls have been made for the 80km/h speed limit on the R245 to be cut to 60km/h between Thorndale and the Kiltoy-Golf Course Road junction.
Councillor Donal Coyle told the Letterkenny-Milford Municipal District that it was "vitally important" that the road be examined as part of the next Urban Speed Limit Review.

The council said the target is to present the proposed amendments to elected members at a workshop in late April or early May, before seeking approval to move to the statutory public consultation stage at the May plenary council meeting.
