A reduction in speed limit and the introduction of VMS signs have been requested for an area on the outskirts of Clarecastle village.

Traffic calming measures “such as ‘children at play’ signage or VMS speed signage” were listed as possible improvements for the L7140 in Manusmore, Clarecastle by Cllr Paul Murphy (FG). He also appealed for the speed limit to be reduced to 50km/h.

Signage at the location will be examined with traffic surveys also to be completed, acting senior executive engineer Ian Chaplin confirmed. “The location may be included for review when the next speed limit review is being carried out,” he added.

Speaking at the September meeting of the Ennis Municipal District, Cllr Murphy welcomed the comments of the engineer and anticipated a potential solution. Cllr Clare Colleran Molloy (FF) seconded the motion, “I am hopeful this will help the situation and improve traffic on the road”.
