A local councillor has called for safety signage and visible warning markers to be erected in Munterconnaught.
Cllr Shane P O'Reilly wants to see something done to alleviate the speed that some motorists are travelling passing Ballydurrow Community Centre and at the Togher in Ryefield.
He said with the level of traffic now using that route in an effort to avoid the rat race that is Virginia, it's become a very serious situation. Cllr O'Reilly said following a number of reports to him from locals living in the area, he has made contact with the Gardai in an effort for them to increase speed checks in the area.
He believes no consideration is being given to the residents by the motorists that are speeding on these rural roads, adding that people are driving around thinking they are Michael Schumacher.
He said this problem is heightened by the constant avoidance of the N3. Cllr Shane P O'Reilly says motorists have to take responsibility and when it comes to reading road signs, he believes further education for drivers is needed.
