Donegal County Council is planning commissioning works at the Polestar Roundabout this week to improve the phasing of the new traffic lights.
Some issues have been encountered since the lights system was activated on 17th October.
From Monday 6th November, the council will carry out works to ensure the lights achieve the optimum balance of flows through the roundabout.
A spokesperson said: “It is possible that additional traffic delays will be experienced as this process is carried out. This will continue to be monitored and changes will be made to improve the function of the signals where possible. We again ask for the patience of the motorists and the general public during this time.”
While lengthy traffic jams have been reported on roads converging at the Polestar Roundabout in recent weeks, the council said that the wider problem cannot be fixed by traffic lights alone.
“While it will help provide assurance, reliability and greater safety for all road users, only significant new infrastructure such as the Ten-T Project and others can hope to resolve the peak time congestion issues within the town,” the statement said.
