A lot of people pulling out there are "making a run for it" - Barry

A lot of people pulling out there are "making a run for it" - Barry

Cllr Brendan Barry requested that Ballinamore Municipal District improve sightlines for drivers at the junction of Drumbullog Road and R210 in Drumcong.

Cllr Brendan Barry requested that Ballinamore Municipal District improve sightlines for drivers at the junction of Drumbullog Road and R210 in Drumcong saying it "is very difficult to see oncoming traffic while exiting onto the main road and improvements are necessary." 
A Report by the Roads office said the local road L-3388 and the R210 can be submitted for a Low Cost Safety Grant. Any increase in sight distances towards the village of Drumcong will require the purchase of adjoining land from the landowner.

 
Cllr Barry welcome the response acknowledging that there is a sign at the location notifying drivers that there is a concealed entrance ahead but added "we know a lot of drivers don't pass any heed of signs and a lot of people pulling out there are making a run for it just to get out the other side before a car comes over the brow of the hill."
