Roads Service advise cars travelling from Limavady along the Clooney Road are not allowed to turn right onto the McLean Road; cars travelling on the McLean road are not allowed to turn right onto the Clooney Road; and cars travelling on the Coolafinney Road are not allowed to turn right onto the Clooney Road. Traffic is also prohibited travelling from Coolafinney Road to McClean Road and vice versa.
