Speed limit on Four-Lane project ‘for a reason’ – Gardaí

Gardaí have again urged motorists to adhere to the reduced speed limit on the Four Lane project in Letterkenny.

Works have been ongoing for almost two years there to erect a central median and widen the road between the Dry Arch and Polestar roundabouts. 

Gardaí reissued their appeal to motorists to slow down after a number of drivers were caught travelling at double the 50 km/h (30mph) temporary speed limit at the weekend. One motorist was clocked at 108km/h (67mph).

Speaking today, Garda Claire Rafferty said the speed restrictions are in place for a reason.

“I think some people are forgetting the reason why the 50 km/h speed limit is there,” she explained.

“We urge all motorists to remember that the speed limit in the area, in which there are ongoing roadworks, is 50 km/h. “Please slow down in order to protect workers and other motorists.”
