U84 Old Douglas Road, Ballure One Way For Motorcycles
A one way system will be introduced for motorised traffic on the U84 'Green Lane' that runs from Ballure on the A2 Coast Road, continues up beside the plantation, and up to the Rhowin/Gooseneck Road.
It is passable only by foot, cycle or motorcycle (see white line on Google Image).
Traffic will be permitted in a downhill direction only on the track. The restriction will be in place until 1 July 2015, pending the implementation of a permanent order. Access to the property Cooil Veg will be maintained.
In recent years the increased use by motor-cycles has caused deep ruts. On the lower sections these deep channels have conspired with storm water to wash away the soil/turf and reduce the track to the bed rock.
The Commissioners welcome the recent work on the U84 and the one-way restriction being taken; they hope it leads to other types of user on foot and cycle to enjoy using the track once again.
They have long campaigned for adequate maintenance of the Green Lanes in the area, and had particular success in encouraging government to improve the condition of the U92 track from Glen Mona over the tops to Lonan. They will continue to monitor the Departments commitment to preserving the amenity of these lanes for all users.
