    N4 from Kinnegad to McNead's bridge. I emailed the NRA about this one a year ago or so, asking why it was still national primary as the Traffic Corps were shooting fish in a barrel as traffic came off then end of the M4 onto the identical grade N4 without reducing speed. Got no answer.

    I guess you can bye bye to the Garda Traffic Corps from now on so.

    Another fish tank (cash cow) for the Gardai eliminated. The heart weeps.

    Did you see anybody doing any different speed?

    I didn't. I cruise along at my usual speed any everybody else appeared to be doing 100kph.

    There are no signs tellings you(on the M7 Limerick Bypass) that you are entering a motorway.

    I assume I will see tractors, L- Drivers(OF COURSE), Pikeys and the usual cyclists.

    Will the Gardai do anything to police this new motorway?

    No, they never even policed it prior to becoming a motorway.
