Yellow boxes to be installed at two Letterkenny roundabouts next week

Yellow boxes are scheduled to be painted at the N56 Kiltoy and Knocknamona roundabouts in Letterkenny on Monday night.

Donegal County Council’s line‑marking contractor will carry out the work, responding to calls from local councillors to stop motorists blocking exits at the busy junctions.

Cllr Donal Mandy Kelly welcomed the confirmation, saying the installation is “great news” and “a step in the right direction” for traffic flow, although it will not solve all of Letterkenny’s congestion problems.

The councillor noted that long‑standing issues have seen cars queue in the exits due to the absence of yellow boxes, and he hopes drivers will now respect the markings.

Cllr Kelly added that further measures, such as slip lanes at Thomas Keys’ shop and improvements at the Polestar roundabout, will still be needed to address the town’s wider traffic challenges.
