SLOW MOVING MOTORISTS BLAMED FOR N17 PROBLEMS

Date Published: 03-Dec-2010

The delay between cars going through the traffic lights in Claregalway village is adding to long tailbacks, according to Galway West T.D, Noel Grealish.

The Independent T.D joined Council engineers in Claregalway yesterday to monitor traffic flow which has almost ground to a halt at peak times in the past few days.

Extra volumes of traffic are using the N17 Galway-Tuam road as motorists opt to avoid slippy back roads.

Deputy Grealish says that some cars are leaving too long of a delay between the car in front going through the lights.
