SIGNS warning of black spots by Moyasta have gone missing, a West Clare councillor has claimed.
Speaking at a meeting of the West Clare Municipal District, Cllr Michael Shannon (FF) outlined that he was contacted by constituents to flag that “black spot signs from Moyasta are gone missing or else they are completely obstructed by trees”.
Cathaoirleach of the West Clare MD, Cllr Rita McInerney (FF) flagged, “blackspot signs are gone throughout the country I think”.
She was hopeful that traffic calming would be addressed in Moyasta in the near future.
As far back as 2008, the then National Roads Authority (NRA) said it will no longer designate sections of roadway as ‘black spots’ because of the large numbers of accidents at specific locations. Instead, dozens of historical accident prone sections of road were to undergo major safety work.
