Traffic light ‘issue’ clarified in Leitrim town following complaints

A traffic light system in Manorhamilton has been confirmed as functioning properly following complaints from local motorists about its operation.

Leitrim County Council has clarified that the lights are working as intended and has issued guidance to drivers to ensure smooth traffic flow through the town. The council is advising motorists to pull up fully to the stop line at the traffic lights, as this action triggers the sensors that control the signal changes.

The clarification comes after residents raised concerns about the performance of the lights. By positioning vehicles right up to the marked stop line, drivers will activate the detection system and allow the lights to respond appropriately to traffic conditions.

The council's explanation aims to resolve confusion among road users and encourage compliance with the correct procedure for using the traffic signals in the town centre.

More details are available from the Leitrim Observer.
