Loughtagalla Road, Thurles
Cllr Jim Ryan has proposed a Notice of Motion to the Tipperary County Council seeking a raised pedestrian crossing to be installed on the Lognafulla Road in Thurles.
Cllr Ryan believed this will be of great benefit to the town, allowing for cars to slow down as they come down the hill, while also giving pedestrians a chance to cross the road safely.

The motion is set to be discussed at the upcoming meeting of the Thurles Municipal District of the Tipperary County Council next Monday, October 20.
In his Notice of Motion, Cllr Ryan said: “I am calling on this District Council to install a raised pedestrian crossing along the Lognafulla Road in Thurles between the Water Tower and the Borroway / Bohernamona Road junction. It would act as a way to slow down cars coming down the hill and also as a means of allowing pedestrians to safely cross an extremely busy and dangerous road.”
In response, the Tipperary County Council said: “This junction was identified by the MD as requiring safety measures following the submission of planning applications in the area which would substantially increase pedestrian and traffic volumes.
“To address this the MD set aside 2025 Development Levy monies (€30,000 Bohernamona Road Widening) and we are currently engaging with landowners in the area to progress an overall solution.
“Subject to agreements and a Section 38, further Development Levies will be allocated in 2026 to deliver traffic and pedestrian safety measures in the area. “
