Strabane Sinn Féin Councillor Jay Mc Cauley has welcomed confirmation from Roads Service that it is to extend the 30mph speed limit beyond the new Invest NI Business Park site on the Melmount Road in the town as well as installing a traffic island to facilitate pedestrians
Cllr Mc Cauley had been raising the issue with Roads Service following representations he has received about motorist and pedestrian safety on this stretch of road.
He said,
“The extending of the 30mph speed limit to beyond the new Invest NI Business Park site in conjunction with plans to install a pedestrian safety island on the road fronting the site will go some way to improving pedestrian and motorist safety at this stretch.
“I am still concerned that a right hand turning lane to provide safer access to homes opposite the new Invest NI Business Park is not included in these plans for this stretch but I will keep raising this issue in out liaison meetings with Roads Service officials."
