All STOP at Milemill cross

The Diary has been asked to remind drivers using the 4-way Stop system at Milemill that they MUST STOP at all roads, writes Brian Byrne. We are receiving reports that many are driving through without stopping.

It is NOT a 'rolling stop' exercise. Just because you see that there's nothing already stopped at any of the roads, doesn't mean you don't have to stop.

Failing to stop is illegal. It's a minimum of three penalty points and an €80 fine.

Below is a relevant extract from the RSA Rules of the Road, which doesn't refer directly to 4-way Stop, but does deal with 'equal importance' roads at a junction.

Read it, but then always use the one most important rule, common sense. Be careful, be courteous, be aware.

'If you are at a junction where the roads are of equal importance, the traffic on your right has right of way. You must let that traffic pass before moving on. It is important to understand that the right of way is not an absolute right. You must proceed with caution while showing regard for other users of the road.'

Meantime, since the system was put in place in 2015, you MUST STOP at Milemill.
