Urgent: Speed Reduction Measures Proposed for Muff to Burnfoot Road

UPDATE: Authorities are responding to urgent calls for speed reduction measures on the road from Muff to Burnfoot. During a meeting on December 4, 2025, Cllr Jack Murray highlighted serious concerns regarding the high speeds at which vehicles approach Burnfoot, prompting immediate action.

Residents and local officials are alarmed by the risks posed to pedestrians and cyclists, particularly as traffic volumes increase. Cllr Murray emphasized the need for the Donegal County Council to implement strategies that will effectively slow down motorists entering Burnfoot.

The proposed measures aim to enhance safety along this busy route and are expected to include speed limit signs, potential speed bumps, and increased enforcement of traffic regulations. “It’s vital that we protect our community,” Cllr Murray stated. “We need to ensure that everyone can travel safely, whether on foot or in a vehicle.”

Local support for these measures is strong, with community members urging swift action to prevent accidents. With the holiday season approaching, increased traffic is expected, raising the stakes for timely intervention.

Authorities are now reviewing the proposal, and a decision is anticipated shortly. Residents are encouraged to voice their opinions during the upcoming public consultation sessions, allowing everyone to contribute to this crucial safety initiative.

Stay tuned for more updates as the council deliberates on these urgent safety measures.
