New road safety markings between Cork and Mallow ‘are extremely dangerous’

Safety markings on one of the busiest roads in Co Cork have been described as extremely dangerous by councillors and council engineers.

The markings have been put down on the orders of TII (Transport Infrastructure Ireland) on the main Cork-Mallow road (N20) and are particularly dangerous on the 2+1 sections.

A 2+1 road is a specific category of three-lane road, featuring two lanes in one direction and one lane in the other, alternating every few kilometres, and separated, usually with a steel cable barrier. TII controls all national primary and secondary roads.
