A dog was knocked down in Ballymore, while two crashes happened at Firmount Cross in Clane over the Christmas period.
Local residents in Ballymore Eustace and Clane have raised concerns about road layouts and speed limits in both towns.
A number of days ago a dog was knocked down on Barrack Street in Ballymore Eustace, where the speed limit on that stretch of road is 50km/h.
Local Fine Gael Cllr. Evie Sammon told Kfm "I’ve raised speeding on this road with the Council before and had a motion about traffic calming on the road in May 2021, since then I’ve met the area engineer in Ballymore to discuss traffic calming measures.
The 50km speed limit is going to be extended up to the entrance/exit of the 5km walk, funding for a footpath from the entrance of the 5km walk into the village has been secured and there will traffic calming measures put in place with this path and then a raised table at Hillcrest.
I would like to organise a meeting with residents and the area engineer in January as work is also due to begin on age-friendly works in the village so the area engineer will be in Ballymore Eustace."
Meanwhile, two separate crashes occurred at Firmount Cross in Clane, where a number of roads meet the main Prosperous to Clane Road.
Local Ballymore resident Colm O'Driscoll, whose dog was knocked down, and Cllr. Aidan Farrelly for the Clane area, spoke to the Kildare Today programme.
