Sinn Fein’s Sandra Duffy at the Whitehouse Road and Upper Galliagh Road junction on Buncrana Road.
A complete review of the one of the city’s busiest road junctions has been called on.
Sinn Fein local election candidate Sandra Duffy said Whitehouse Road-Upper Galliagh Road junction on Buncrana Road had been described by some residents in the area as a “death trap.”
Ms Duffy has called on Road Service to hold an urgent review of the junction nd put in place additional safety measures “as soon as possible.”
She added: “The Buncrana Road is a fast moving road for traffic which sees thousands of vehicles a day. Its junction with the Whitehouse Road and Upper Galliagh is perilous at times, it’s a nightmare for drivers to exiting either road out onto the Buncrana Road and there isn’t a day goes by there isn’t near accidents occurring. People are also unsure of who has the right of way.”
Stating it could be years before Buncrana Road was upgraded to a “modern standard,” Ms Duffy called for new high visibility road markings and additional road safety signage put in place as “an interim measure.”
