Galway Bay fm newsroom - A section of the N59 from Cliften to Leenaune has been recorded as the most dangerous stretch of road nationwide.
Gamma Location Intelligence has released an analysis of the most treacherous road segments in Ireland.
The research shows the roads with the highest collision rates are clustered in Galway, Wexford and Longford.
This is determined by the number of road accidents per 100 million vehicle kilometres.
The most dangerous stretch of road was found to be located just east of Kylemore Lough, from Clifden to near Leenane along the N59.
Galway was also the county that appeared most frequently in the top 20 list with eight of the most dangerous road segments.
The second is between Abbey Square Roundabout and Seamus Rafter Bridge in Enniscorthy.
The third most dangerous stretch is at the Killashee Street, Ballymahon Street and New Street junction in Longford town.
Gamma’s Perilfinder platform has an in-built Road Accident Model which collates data from the Road Safety Authority, Transport Infrastructure Ireland and the Central Statistics Office.
