76% Informative
More than 500 m has been spent trying to fix Northern Ireland’s roads in the last five years .
But Mid Ulster has one of the highest numbers of potholes in Northern Ireland .
Transport provider says rural roads in Mid Ulster are very tired’ and the edges have eroded away’.
A DfI spokesperson added: “Sadly, evidence shows that more than 95% of road deaths are due to human error including careless or inattentive driving, inappropriate speed for the road or the conditions, and drink and drug driving account for most deaths and serious injuries. “ One of the best ways to ensure safety on our roads and fulfil our long-term goal of eliminating death and serious injury by 2050 , is by changing road user behaviour.”.
