Answer

In July 2025, and in response to a similar query regarding road safety concerns, my officials carried out a review of the Hillsborough Road. The road is currently subject to a 30mph speed limit and has central hatching and edge line road marking traffic calming features to narrow the running lanes.

An investigation of the history of personal injury collisions was also carried out and this did not highlight any areas of particular concern. As such the Department has no plans to alter the current road arrangement.
