The position has been filled in other counties around the country.
Even to just save one life, it would be worth while appointing a road safety officer in Offaly.
Independent Councillor, Sean O'Brien is calling on Offaly County Councillor to fill the position.
The role would require someone with particular knowledge of the roads, and have the authority to bring in further provisions.
Councillor O'Brien says this is especially important given the high number of road deaths and serious accidents:
