KERRY County Council is to pilot a one-way traffic system for buses, camper vans and large vehicles on the Slea Head Drive in west Kerry which they say has been prone to congestion where the road is narrow.
During the trial period, which takes place from Tuesday, April 19 to Friday, April 22, the Council asks that visitors drive in a clockwise direction starting at Dingle town, then on to Ventry, Slea Head, Coumeenole, Dunquin, Ballyferriter, Murioch, Feohanagh and back to Dingle.
A Kerry County Council employee will be positioned (each day from 11.00 am to 4.00pm) at Coumeenole to encourage camper vans and larger vehicles that are driving in the incorrect direction to re-join the correct route.

Visitors will be encouraged to follow the recommended route from the outset resulting in more time to relax and enjoy the magnificent views, attractions, history and culture of this beautiful part of Kerry.
Local access will be maintained as normal. Signage advising of the trial one-way system has been erected locally.
