    I have used Google Streetview, even though the views are probably over two years old the lethargy of those who put the signs up and those responsible for ensuring the quality of said signage means its still in place :(.

    I think that advanced signange, in appropriate locations, should show Nx (Mx) for routes that are part motorway, part non-motorway.

    In addition, I don't see why something like 'Non-motorway traffic use Rxxx' can't be used at appropriate locations near motorways to show that there's an alternative route.

    They do - those "Slí Eile (alternative route)" brown signs are in place at alot of locations along M6/M4. Of course they dont mention "non-motorway traffic" but still youd imagine some would "get it".

    That said, you have to be on the motorway you want to avoid in the first place to see such signs.

    Those brown signs are, generally, only used for tolled sections of motorway and not the extensive untolled sections.

    The ones on the M4/6 corridor only provide the waypoints for Kilcock to Kinnegad and Ballinasloe to Loughrea
