Security concerns at Flax Street
Flax Street runs between a predominantly Protestant part of the Crumlin Road and the overwhelmingly Roman Catholic enclave of the Ardoyne - which in Northern Ireland terms can be a recipe for trouble. Therefore Flax Street now has a ten foot high gate, complete with spikes - and this simple sign dictate that it's a no-through road for 'security' reasons.
