The R236 road leading into St Johnston, Lifford Co Donegal has been a location of concern due to numerous accidents, the most recent being a heart-wrenching tragedy where teenagers tragically lost their lives. This stretch of road, particularly the bend just before Harkins Petrol Station, poses serious safety risks that need immediate attention for the sake of all who use it.

The lack of proper signage and speed regulation measures such as ramps on this road has made it perilous for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike. Local residents and visitors have voiced their worries over the dangerous conditions, yet little has changed to remedy this ongoing problem. The combination of high speeds and sharp turns without adequate warnings is a recipe for disaster, as evidenced by the tragic incidents that have occurred.

By installing appropriate road signage and ramps, widening of the road can significantly reduce the risk of future accidents. This simple yet effective intervention can alert drivers to upcoming hazards and safely guide them through this challenging section of the road. Implementing these measures will undoubtedly save lives and prevent further heartache for families and the community.

We urge the Donegal County Council and relevant authorities to prioritize the safety of all road users by taking immediate action. The cost of prevention is far less than the cost of a life, making these changes not just practical but essential.

Please join us in advocating for the installation of ramps and proper signage on R236 to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone who travels this road. Your signature can make a difference and help prevent another tragedy from occurring. Sign this petition to demand action now.
