Concern about junction known as 'The Devil's Elbow'
Dangerous section of road needs double white lines says councillor
Cllr Paddy Farrell called on District Engineer Darragh O’Boyle to investigate the "dangerous section of road on the R209 where vehicles come off the L3390 from Leitrim Village direction. There needs to be double white lines on the R209 or some other deterrent as there have been several incidents at this junction."
A report by the Roads office said they have installed driver feedback signs at both approaches to that junction, locally known as 'the Devil's Elbow', advising the traffic to slow to 60kph. The existing centre line construction is in line with the current regulations.
"It is a very dangerous junction. The road is very narrow and the speed limit there is outrageous," he said.
