    Note however that the UK's high quality dual carriageways, like the A14, for example are worse in a very important way than Ireland's motorways - they don't have hard shoulders.

    .

    That's why they are not classified as motorways, despite the fact that they carry such high volumes of traffic.

    Ok, so there is more motorway per person for down south, i thought the english motorways were better due to three lanes etc.

    3 Lanes doesnt make a motorway "better". It is designed for more capacity over 2 lanes that is all.

    Also, the environmental lobby is easier sidestepped for an application for a dual carriageway, as "motorway" sets off the alarm bells in the greeny camp.

    When you see signs outside petrol statons in Athlone saying "Last petrol station before Dublin!" you do ;)


    OK I know that there will soon be one opening at Enfield.

    We are well aware of the lack of MSA's on the motorway network. There is a thread on the progress of these here
