It's hoped a long awaited extra traffic light system to be installed in Claregalway will ease the gridlock in the village.The new lights are to be placed at the exit from the Oranmore Road onto the main Galway Tuam road the N-17 Local Councillor Jarlath McDonagh is welcoming the plans saying they will be of benefit to all motorists, as Claregalway is now possibly Ireland's busiest village.The Fine Gael councillor says motorists trying to exit onto the N-17 at Claregalway will no longer have to rely on the good will of those using the main road.While the by-pass is no longer a runner design plans were sanctioned this week for an inner relief road and Councillor McDonagh says any traffic alleviation measures are to be welcomed.
