M7 MotorwayA limited number of Gosafe
vans have been deployed at various intervals to assist in enforcement of the 60km/h speed limit within
the M7 works zone, between Junction 8 (Johnstown) and Junction 11(M9 Merge).
We thank the public for their co-operation and we request motorists to
heed the speed limits when travelling through the works zone #arrivealive.
With
close proximity of the works and associated risked of constructing adjacent to
live traffic, the “Go Safe” vans are a welcoming sight to the Construction team
on the M7 Motorway widening scheme. With these vans rolling out in the coming
days, the primary intention is help make the M7 a much safer environment for
the many ground workers presently tasked with delivering this scheme. It is
also anticipated that with more and more motorists now complying with the
current speed limits, the number and
severity of accidents currently being witnessed through the Works will decrease
significantly.
