DONEGAL County Council has shared advice with motorists ahead of the switching on of the new traffic signals at the Polestar Roundabout in Letterkenny tomorrow, Tuesday.
The main objective of the Polestar Signalisation Project is to improve traffic flow at the busy roundabout while also providing safe facilities for pedestrians and cyclists at the roundabout.
The council has requested that all users of the roundabout familiarise themselves with the revised road layout and to follow the direction signage and road markings to navigate the roundabout safely.
In a statement they explained that when approaching the roundabout, motorists should select the appropriate lane depending on the exit they plan to take guided by the road markings and signage.
The line markings on the roundabout will guide motorists through the junction to their selected destination.
Motorists should note that they may be required to stop at traffic lights at various points as they travel, onto, around and off the roundabout junction.
The council also urged drivers to be patient as when the new traffic signals are switched on it is likely that traffic delays will be experienced initially as motorists get used to the new layout and signals.
