Surely the odds of crossing safely are against us.

It is pretty dangerous, especially considering alot of drivers floor it to 100+ from the lights on Portrush.
Maybe a bridge to the other side, but I doubt any council/government would want to committ to it.

Is it just me that path at the end , is very slippery in winter covers over in moss.A pedestrian crossing over the freeway might slow the cars down so we could cross over the freeway a bit more safely.

A bridge crossing would be great, but who is going to fund that ? You are looking at $1M + easily. Extending the lane to the lights is nnot doable due to existing buildings (sadly).
For me, patience works really well, but understand the concerns.
A bigger issue for me is bike lanes that end near and intersection and start 100m later when there is plenty of room to the relevant area.
