The N80 at Arles
A pedestrian crossing is needed on a “lethal” stretch of road in Arles, a council meeting was told.
Independent Cllr Aisling Moran asked that Transport Infrastructure Ireland(TII) meet with councillors to discuss the crossing.
“That road is lethal. It really is lethal. They won’t even meet us to do anything with it,” said Cllr Moran.
As the N80 Road through Arles is a national route, Laois County Council has to consult with TII in relation to work.
She said there was a housing estate on one side of the road and a school on the other.
“Is there any way we can just get them down here,” asked Cllr Moran.
She said a pedestrian crossing was badly needed in Arles as there was nowhere for children to safely cross the road.

The issue was discussed at the latest meeting of Portarlington Graiguecullen Municipal District.
