New zebra crossing signage a welcome upgrade for Ennis National School
All vehicles must now stop and yield right of way to a pedestrian/cyclist who is waiting to cross, or has commenced crossing the road
Clare County Council has introduced a new signage-only zebra crossing, as part of the Ennis National School's 'Safe Routes to School' scheme.
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.
A spokesperson for Clare County Council took to social media to comment on these upgrades.
They said, "It is Clare County Council's intention to introduce this type of crossing in future installations, where the guidance permits.
"Clare County Council appeals to all road users to familiarise themselves with this new crossing type," they concluded.
