Some sections are still 120 kph.

Thought I'd kick start the crazies tonight!

Tbh a squirrel is random enough to see on a main road like that. They normally stay clear.

Near Cherrywood IIRC, which is where I think OP is in fairness to him

Busted Flat.

What is this tread about ?. Is there more to the silly video.

Correct! I thought the Yaris pottering along in lane 3 with a motorbike cop on it's back bumper would be the highlight of my trip then the squirrel turns up

I once had a group of ten men (Romanians I think) run across the motorway in front of my near Mitchelstown. I was the only car on the road and couldn't understand why they didn't wait until I passed. Mind you their van was on fire on the opposite side of the road

Squirrel crosses the road. Ends up on the internet.

Yeap, from the M11 at Fassaroe to just after the Sandyford M50 off ramp is 120. It's then 100 from there to the Airport.

Also appears to be grey. They are extremely destructive to local eco systems.

Now that we have cleared up the M50 speed limts let gets back to the thread in hand!

Lucky to make it that squirrel. I once saw a horse that had collided with a van on the M50 at lucan. Many years ago mind you.

The horse was dead and van was totalled but I believe that driver was not seriously injured (according to a friend who is a garda in Lucan). It was some mess.

I hear they have displaced the native red squirrels from the entire M50 median.

You're probably confusing Romanians with Roma
