lol @ no data for M50

No part of the M50 is within Dublin City Councils command, all of the M50 is in Fingal, South Dublin and (eventually) Dun Laoighaire/Rathdown County Councils. The pink line all the way 'round shows this.

Useful tho.

Wish i had that map handy before i set off from grand canal dock to the quays today.
Journey took over 1 hr !

The M50 carpark was probably off the scale !

Check out / harass the relevant councils. Traffic control will eventually get control of the major routes **only** out to the M50.

Might make sense to better aline the city boundary with the M50 in some places also.

thats quite good but how do they get the data?

A better quality/more detailed map would not go astray either

The city council and the NRA have sensors on most routes to count traffic and measure speeds. Various different types are used from cameras and radar "guns" to sensor strips built into the road surface.

More detail, more complications. No doubt they will add other routes as the sensors are installed.

I think a computer does it
