Clare County Council appeals to all road users to familiarise themselves with this new crossing type
Clare County Council has introduced a new signage-only zebra crossing, as part of the Ennis National School's 'Safe Routes to School' scheme.
The type B zebra crossing replaces the former requirement for flashing beacons, as the new signs have a fluorescent yellow border around the edges.
All vehicles must now stop and yield right of way to a pedestrian or cyclist who is waiting to cross, or has commenced crossing the road. This is an updated requirement as previously vehicles would stop only when a pedestrian or cyclist has moved onto the crossing.

"Clare County Council appeals to all road users to familiarise themselves with this new crossing type," they concluded.
