This comes as concerns have been raised by local residents.
A upcoming traffic calming survey near a new housing estate in Laois could prevent further 'near-miss' accidents.
That's the message from Cathaoirleach of Laois County Council Conor Bergin.
The survey will be carried out by the local authority near housing estates on the Rathdowney Road in Borris-In-Ossory after concerns raised by local residents.
Upon completion of the survey, a scheme for the measures will be drawn up such as installing new signage and speed ramps, and applying for government funding where necessary.
Fine Gael Councillor Bergin says the survey should be started sooner rather than later:
