Road Safety Signs Erected in West Tyrone

Road Safety Signs have been erected in West Tyrone by Ógra Shinn Féin as part of their ongoing 'Moilligh Síos' Road Safety campaign. The road safety billboards have been erected in the run up to the holiday period in order to raise awarness around the issue of road safety and to urge drivers to drive responsibly.



Stephen McGahan spokesperson for West Tyrone Ógra Shinn Féin said,

"We have erected the billboards in areas where hundreds of cars pass everyday. Simple measures like this can help raise the issue of road safety immeasurably and hopefully help save a life."

"The erection of the billboards is just another action in the campaign. We have organised a number of local vigils, distributed thousands of leaflets and engaged with thousands of young drivers. Although it is very difficult to assess the success of campaigns like this, we are hopeful that our many actions have contributed in making drivers think before they drive."

"The response to the billboards have been very positive to date with some relatives of those who have lost loved ones on the roads thanking us for the initiative. Considering this response we would encourage other Ógra areas to erect billboards before the campaign ends in January."
