Additionally, advance warning signs (W114) accompanied with the appropriate supplementary plates will be placed in advance of Richmond Hill on Old Youghal Road to alert drivers of the restriction. The Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations (Article 5) list the vehicles that the prohibition on the entry of a vehicle to a road do not apply to, which include emergency vehicles, refuse vehicles and maintenance vehicles.
