Most dangerous roads have no warning signs for motorists

THE country’s most dangerous roads have no special warning signs to alert motorists they are driving on routes with a high accident risk, it has emerged.

The National Roads Authority admitted yesterday that no specific signage is in place to warn road users that they are on stretches of road with a bad history for fatal accidents.

The admission came as a new study by the European Road Assessment Programme (EuroRAP) revealed the most dangerous national routes in the Republic and Northern Ireland. However, NRA spokesperson, Eugene O'Connor said it did not mean there were no warning notices at particular locations along such roads to warn of "black spots."
