It follows a call from the Road Safety Authority.
Concerns have been expressed Leeside for the number of fatalities recorded on Cork roads this year.
It comes after the Road Safety Authority called for increased vigilance following carnage on the roads this weekend where five people lost their lives in three separate accidents.
Nationally 82 people have lost their lives on the country's roads that's down 21 on last year's figures.
