Council plans to introduce Polish road signs

SOME of Ireland’s roads could soon feature signs in Polish and other languages in a bid to reduce road deaths.

Laois County Council has already contacted the Polish Embassy in Dublin regarding a plan to introduce road signs in the language for the benefit of drivers from the eastern European country.

The news came as the number of road traffic fatalities so far this year climbed to 71 including four killed in separate accidents on another black weekend.
