Traffic Lights – Camera – No Action In Thurles.

N62 Junction with Clongour Road, this morning *(November 18th 2024)*.

Thurles Municipal District Councillors and their officials, who were supposed to meet this morning, will now meet on December 4th, to discuss how they can ensure that traffic through the centre of Thurles town will continues to be even further choked.

In the meanwhile, [as we previously forecast, on July 10th 2021, (see headline “Traffic Lights“) ], a small adjustment has taken place to our only set of town traffic lights, for the second time in just over a year.

Motorists are now asked to take great care, if travelling on the Slievenamon Road (N62), at the junctions of Clongour Road, (opposite Lidl Supermarket) and the Inner Relief Road, that was never built, due to a lack of funding, which in turn led to the destruction of the historic Great Famine Double Ditch.

Hope there are no live electric wire here, which could endanger children.
