Introduction of trial clockwise traffic route system for North Clare
News this week from Ennis Chamber member, Cliffs of Moher Experience, of a trial traffic ‘Clockwise Route System’ is being introduced to ease traffic congestion in North Clare.
The new initiative aimed at alleviating traffic congestion on the R477 coastal road in the Burren is being introduced as part of a traffic management strategy for North Clare.
Coach operators and camper van users are being encouraged to use a clockwise traffic system from south to north between Ballinalacken Junction and Ballyvaughan on a trial basis for the remainder of the 2024 season.
The multi-agency initiative is being led by Clare County Council and supported by Fáilte Ireland, Cliffs of Moher Experience, the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark and the North Clare Communities Group (NCCG). Clare County Council has established a team of six Tourism Traffic Ambassadors operating seven days a week to direct visitor traffic at appointed locations across North Clare, as well as to engage with visitors to the Burren about local attractions, the culture and history of the area, and other points of interest.
