Road crash site set for new signage LAURA WEBB
ONE of Dublin 15’s most dangerous bends, which has witnessed 30 crashes since the start of the year, including five last month, is to have extra warning signs installed. A resident living near the dangerous bend on Westmanstown Road (R121) has rebuilt his wall 38 times in the past 25 years because of such road accidents. Recently, he was
washing tools after rebuilding his wall, only to hear a van crash into the same section. Fingal County Council (FCC) reported that the surface of the road was examined and found to be in “good condition”. However, the council’s Operations Depar tment intend to provide two new flashing signs at the bend to warn motorists to slow down. Full Story on Page 3
