    This really should be permanent feature. Should only have local access so as to stop rat running.

    Local Access amounts to very few people and its not rat running if its a perfectly reasonable access point to the old dublin road. Its not through a housing estate or similar.

    It is rat running if people are using it for the purpose of travelling though Rosshill without stopping. There is after all a perfectly reasonable "roads" that are parallel to it for that purpose.

    Sorry to disappoint, said my bit and we just have differing views on what constitutes a rat run, end of.

    Have any of the locals expressed concern about the traffic volumes?

    Thanks for all the replies. I only wanted to know why the road is closed and that has been answered by dok_golf (thanks). If you want to discuss whether it is used as a rat run please start a new topic. Thanks.
