What in Gods name should two trucks be doing going through Market square anyway?

If we take any premises on Main street it is either accessable from Main street or from Newtown entering the Credit Union Carpark.
Equally any premises on Ellison street should equally be accessed from Main street.

And any premises round Hopkins road should be accessed from the ring road. Trucks should be barred completely from turning right at the Christchurch Traffic lights and going down Ellison street. Anything venturing onward to Newport/Achill, North Mayo should be obliged to use the bypass.

If access of large trucks to the centre of the town was more restricted it would help greatly with traffic issues.
