N32 road sign

gefpm

I am very curious to know why the council have put up a road sign for the N11 half way down the n32 going towards howth showing when the N11 runs from the city centre out to bray?

It's the N31 not the N32

The N31 runs from J 14 M50 down Leopardstown Road, Brewery Road, Stillorgan Road in bound to Mount Merrion Avenue, right onto Frascatti Road, Temple Road, left onto Newtown Avenue and right onto Seapoint Avenue to the Ferryport in Dun Laoghaire.

It was also the safest national primary road in Ireland in 2004 with no fatal, serious or minor injury accidents reported.

In fact most people don't even know it exists.

Eh?

OP: I know that sign! Very strange indeed. I can't think of any logical reason for that one. Any chance of getting a pic before it's (eventually) removed?

Do you mean between Clonshaugh and Clare Hall?

I presume it is actually in brackets "(N11)" not "N11". When a route is in brackets it means the route your are on eventually leads to the route in brackets - in this case you can go in the Malahide Road across the East Link and then join the N11.

Read again. He said the N32 going *towards Howth*. And yes, theres a sign indicating that it leads to the N11 on it, surreally.

Sorry I was confused by your firsts post. I thought you were referring to the N11 where the N31 runs in parallel with it for a while.

I presume it's to take traffic through the city to the N11 via the East Link.

It's probably for traffic coming from the airport who get lost. There's a similar sign for the n11 in Fairview.

Its been their a long time, and its not a (N11) sign, its just N11 if i remember correctly. Funny thing is their is no other sign for the N11 around after that, so when you get to clarehall you don't know to go left, straight tough or go right. Open to correction on this, but you probably get as far as fairview before you would see another sign for the N11

Defo is just N11 and no brackets, had a look at it today. I noticed, that on the sign just before the roundabout going towards clarehall it has malahide and (N11) in brackets beside it too

I think it's been there since either the road opened as an "eastern bypass" of Dublin city or traffic getting from the airport to those parts of Dublin city served by the N11 and the rest of the N11 route. It might have been put up later, I dunno when the N32 was built and opened, but I'd be fairly sure that it was there before the tunnel works started. There are also plenty( well one or two - between Darndale and the cinema and an.other.) of N11 signs on the Malahide rd into Dublin.

If I had to guess I'd say the Roches got them put up to direct people across their bridge at the point depot.

I suppose the other question is to ask what council put it up.
