    What is the best route travelling by car from southside to Clontarf Road using the Samuel Becket bridge?

    Go across the bridge and head straight towards seville place, after 200 meters turn right at the junction where the old lifty uppy bridge is over the Royal canal, proceed down that road (200-300m) until you get to the traffic lights at the cross roads, you'll go left now and over the steep railway bridge. keep going straight and you'll come out on east wall road beside the pub there (seabank house i think?). Go left and then proceed for a few hundred meters. you'll see Tom Canavan Motors (Ford Dealership) on the right and you'll take the immediate right turn after that. your now on Alfie Byrne road and that leads up to the coast road, clontarf, just between the cop shop and the dart station. :)

    Thanks for that, Masada. Of course, if I wasn't such a tightwad the East Link would probably be better but I just hate paying tolls :)

    I tried the route suggested by Masada today and ran into a snag. The right turn suggested after crossing the Samuel Beckett Bridge is from Guild Street on to Sheriff Street Upper. However that right turn is prohibited by a traffic "no turn right" sign. The only alternative as I see it is to go all the way up as far as Summerhill Parade and turn right there proceeding onward toward Fairview Strand and continuing on to Clontarf Road - my destination. Surely this does not make sense. Is it all designed to make traffic take the East Link?

    You don't need to drive all the way to Summerhill. There is a turn just after the Centra at the Five Lamps. It takes you down the back of the flats, by North William Street Church and you come out at the canal. Drive along the canal and rejoin the North Strand road beside Newcomen bridge.

    If you wanted to further avoid the traffic of Fairview, you could turn left onto North Strand at Newcomen bridge, then take a right down the Ossory road, more or less follow your nose (the only way you can go) and you come out at East Wall Road. Take a right onto East Wall Road and the next left and you're on the Alfie Byrne Road headed for the coast road in Clontarf.

    It sounds more complicated than it is.

    Absolutely daft of course that they didn't put a right turn at the Five Lamps.
