County Monaghan Road Safety Plan 2023 – 2024

The County Monaghan Road Safety Plan 2023 to 2024 is the first of three action plans covering the period 2023 to 2030. The purpose of which is to co-ordinate a multi-agency road safety policy and implementation at county level.

The actions which are based on the principles of the ‘Safe System Approach’ place an emphasis on the shared responsibility amongst those who design, build, manage and use the roads and vehicles to prevent or reduce collision impacts, and those who provide post-crash response to mitigate injury.

Through the implementation of the plan, we will strive to reduce the number of fatalities and injuries on County Monaghan roads.
