Busy Twin Towns junction to undergo traffic review

The appointment of a consultant to carry out a review of the operation of McClay’s junction in Stranorlar has been welcomed.

Claire McGeever, Stranorlar area roads manager, confirmed that traffic counts will take place next week.

The traffic counts will be done by a data collection company.

Councillor Patrick McGowan said: “While adjustments to the traffic lights late last year have improved traffic movements, it is important that this survey goes ahead and identifies any glitches that occur as well as recording traffic movements on each approach road at different times in the day.

“This busy junction at Mc Clays Corner needs smart traffic lights that can be adjusted to handle heavy traffic movements coming in different direction at various times of the day.”
