New Claregalway Traffic Lights

LFC Murphy

Was it me or was it a mess yesterday when they turned on the new lights. Tailbacks in every direction.

Will it sort itself out or have they made it worse????? :mad:

driving through on friday, what are the new traffic lights for? the n18?

LFC Murphy

They are located where the N18 meets the N17 in the village center. A little better yesterday evening.

much better this evening and this morning,

the traffic is starting to speed up rather than stopping for an odd car come out of hughes,

seem like a good job

LFC Murphy

Agreed, much better. The test will be today........Friday evening, will let ye know.

very good again today, some cars are still going to slow rather than keeping going, its as if they are so used to stopping they then put the foot down when they see its clear.

a simple pedrestian footbridge for 100k would solve a lot more back ups aswell.

was stuck for 30 mins there yesterday around 12 coming from the n18 side, i guess its the most effective way with traffic light but with 2 national road meeting it bound to be a disaster any way its done

LFC Murphy

Ya the N17 direct was great Friday evening, the lenght of Green light is in favour of those on the N17, so the N18 will suffer abit, but it's a hell of a better and Safer.
