Variable message signs alerting drivers to their speed will be erected at Cregmore Cross next week, according to Dep Frank Fahey.
Dep Fahey said this week the Galway County Council has informed him of its plans to erect the signs at the junction as part of a traffic calming programme following the recent crash which saw a lorry career into several cars in the parking area at the front of Cregmore National School.
“This is the electronic signage that tells motorists the speed at which they are travelling,” he said.
Meanwhile local Fianna Fáil councillor Malachy Noone said he has been informed that road markings will be put in place in the next week.
Following a meeting with Transport Minister Noel Dempsey during the week, Deputy Fahey said he is confident that the requirements of the Galway County Council in regard to the creation of a staggered junction at Cregmore will be given priority by the Department of Transport.
