‘There is an urgent need for a ban’
Heavy goods vehicles should be banned from a local road in County Kildare.
The L2026 connects Ballymore Eustace with the N81, a much busier road which runs from Tallaght and through Blessington, Hollywood and Baltinglass.
Cllr Evie Sammon has asked Kildare County Council to bring in an “urgent heavy goods vehicle (HGV) ban” on the road.
She is also asking KCC to provide traffic calming measures as well as a four-way stop, at a nearby crossroads “to address ongoing road safety risks.”
