Monaghan County Council is now providing the local community with a further opportunity to have their say on the proposed Quiet Road pilot.

This is through the statutory Section 38 public consultation process following previous public information events and the feedback received.

The proposal aims to create a safer, shared road space for everyone including walkers, cyclists and local traffic, if introduced, the Quiet Road would include a 30km/h speed limit along the route, gateway signage to clearly mark entry and exit points.
