Winter Maintenance
Inclement Winter weather results in frost and ice on the roads, bringing about an increased risk of collisions and loss of control accidents. During the winter months ground and air temperatures are monitored by Laois County Council staff, and when appropriate salting and gritting crews are called out.
The Winter salting programme results in safer roads with an annual spreading of over 1100 tons of salt on National and Regional Roads in Laois.

Use of Irish on Traffic Signs
The use of Irish on the country’s traffic signs is the most visible illustration of the state’s policy regarding our official languages, Irish and English. The road authorities are obliged to adhere to the obligations imposed on them with regard to the use of those languages on traffic signs under the Traffic Signs Manual. The authorities involved are the National Roads Authority and the country’s local authorities.
A summary of the obligations imposed on road authorities in this regard is available at the link below:
