12. CONTINUATION OF WHITE LINE ON SANDYFORD ROAD PAST EXIT OF ARDGLAS ESTATE “To ask the Chief Executive that the white line on the Sandyford Road, Dundrum, be continued past the exit of the Ardglass estate?”
There is currently a broken white line on the Sandyford Road, from the pedestrian crossing at Balally Drive to the junction with Wickham Way. This means that traffic heading towards that junction, with the intention of turning right at the traffic lights, especially at peak traffic times are unfortunately inclined to overtake on the wrong side of the road and often do so at speed to avoid traffic moving in the opposite direction. This presents a very real risk to those exiting Ardglass heading south on the Sandyford Road. This serious concern can be addressed by changing the road marking to a continuous white line, ending at the exit from their estate.
