Motorways are the safer route - Improving road safety

MOTORWAYS are up to eight times safer than Ireland’s inferior national roads. That is not just a statistic but a stark reminder that good road infrastructure is more than just about helping motorists get from A to B in the shortest possible time.

It not just about ensuring that the economic progress we are now experiencing is not confined to Dublin and its hinterland, but is also shared by communities nationwide.

As our report today reveals, building motorways and improving national roads is, above all, about saving lives.
