A little bit off-topic perhaps. Are people out there wondering the same thing as myself? The improvements - road widening and new pavements - between the first and second Sea Roads, is taking forever.

I stand to be corrected, but I believe this work to be in progress now at least 4 years. The current phase of development - new walls, pavements, etc - is ongoing for at least the last 18 months.

I wonder how many people actually ring the Borough Council and enquire as to finish dates for projects like this? Frustrated, I took some video footage on my mobile a few weeks back (travelling into Sligo town).

Given the way that people seem to negotiate the junction, it’s a little surprising that there have not been more incidents. To that end, it’s useful to consider the advice given on the Road Safety Authority website on negotiating roundabouts - the download is here.

From experience negotiating it on a day to day basis - the following points are the ones that people should take heed of
