Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure, pursuant to AQO 132/22-27, to detail the criteria used to designate whether the traffic in this area is operating satisfactorily, given the regular traffic congestion on Donaghy’s Lane in particular.

Answer:

The Department’s view that traffic is operating satisfactorily in the Donaghy’s Lane area of Larne is based on inspections, observations, and judgement of the engineering staff. It should also be noted that developers, as part of their planning approvals are required to carry out a number of road improvements at Donaghy’s Lane/Antiville Road and Ballyboley Road. Drawings showing the full details of these works can be found on the planning portal.
