Plean Bainistíochta Tráchta do Bhóthar na Trá, Gaillimh, 17 Bealtaine, 2025
Fáiltíonn An Garda Síochána roimh chách go Bóthar na Trá do chluichí CLG, do cheiliúradh Lá na hAfraice agus d’Fhéile an Tóstal ar an Satharn, 17 Bealtaine, 2025.
Chun do thaitneamh a bhaint as na himeachtaí a chinntiú, cuireann an Garda Síochána an t-eolas seo a leanas ar fáil maidir le bainistíocht tráchta agus sábháilteacht.
Táthar ag súil le timpeall ar 20,000 duine i bPáirc an Phiarsaigh don chluiche dúbailte iomána agus peile – caithfear isteach Gaillimh v Aontroim i gCraobh Shinsir Iomána Laighean ag 2:30i.n. agus 5:00i.n. do Ghaillimh v Baile Átha Cliath i mBabhta 1 de Chraobh Sinsear Peile na hÉireann.
I bPáirc Bhóthar na Trá, beidh Féile Ilchultúrtha Óige Lá na hAfraice ar siúl ó 1:00i.n. go 5:00i.n., agus beidh féile seoltóireachta an Tóstal ar siúl le gníomhaíochtaí ar feadh an Phromanáid ar an lá, agus freisin ar an Domhnach, 18 Bealtaine.
Táthar ag súil le líon mór gluaisteán i gceantar mórthimpeall Bhóthar na Trá i rith an lae.
Dúnfar bóithre, agus coimeádfar rochtain do chónaitheoirí. Beidh cordáin sheachtracha i bhfeidhm sna láithreacha seo a leanas:
• I mBóthar na Trá ag na hacomhail le Bóthar an Dúin agus ag Carraig Bhartúin Thiar.
• Ag Bóthar Carraig Bhartúin (tar éis bealach isteach feithiclí go Leisureland)
• Ar Bhóthar na Trá Uachtarach ag an acomhal le Gairdíní Leána Bháite
• Bóthar na Trá Íochtarach ag acomhal Pháirc Deibhin
• An Bóthar Ard ag acomhal Bóithrín an Phaidirín
• Acomhal Bhóthar na Mine agus Bóthar Uí Mhainchín
Beidh Bóthar na Trá oscailte do ghnó agus táthar ag súil go mbeidh sé an-ghnóthach mar thoradh ar an réamhaisnéis aimsire mhaith. Is é an chomhairle atá againn ná do thuras a phleanáil agus teacht go Bóthar na Trá go luath, agus treoir a fháil ó Ghardaí, marascail imeachtaí agus comharthaí bóthair.
Moltar do dhaoine atá ag taisteal i gcarr go bhfuil páirceáil teoranta ar fáil ag na carrchlóis i mBóthar na Trá agus ag Coláiste Éinde ar Bhóthar na Mine. Ba cheart do thiománaithe smaoineamh ar pháirceáil i lár na cathrach agus seirbhísí bus a úsáid a bheidh ag feidhmiú i rith an lae, nó siúl.
Meabhraítear do thiománaithe páirceáil go dleathach agus go freagrach.
