The winter months can create a multitude of challenges to Road users with more hours of darkness and poorer weather conditions. Extreme weather is also a particular hazard at this time of year and motorists can experience heavy rain, gale force winds, flooding, high winds, freezing fog and ice and snow during the Winter season.
Monaghan County Council have launched a dedicated Out of Hours Emergency phone line to help customers report emergency road issues that they encounter. The new Road Emergency Line- 1800 121 121 -phone line is operational 24/7 and directs callers to report items such as flooding, fallen trees, oil spills, traffic incidents to the local Municipal District area in Co. Monaghan for the appropriate response.
