    There is just 1 barrierless toll in Ireland afaik, just the one on m50 coming from M6 toward Dub airport.

    From the M4 you mean, the M6 ends at Kinnegad - these Galway people thinking the world revolves around them! ;)

    we did indeed! went to see the spire thing aswell! proper tourists! haha

    I am from Dublin and forget to pay it every so often as well.

    Just pay it as soon as you can, although they only accept Euro and not punts, we changed over a while back in case you missed it.

    It is also written twice on the road surface on each of the four lanes 'TOLL', and two other signs after you pass in each direction, 'PAY TOLL BEFORE 8PM TOMORROW'

    Really I worry about people paying so little attention being out on the roads....

    In fairness, he's right. Shouldn't be on the road if you can't take in basic signs. I'd be less concerned about the lad doin 100mph in his Merc on the motorway as he more than likely has a fair degree of competency and aptitude.

    Forgetting to pay is one thing, missing it completely is another thing entirely.

    really? consider the antics i seen on the road back, missing a toll doesnt seem all that bad, in comparison to the lad that tried to overtake 2 trucks and almost ran a woman and her kids into the ditch, 2014 merc sur... but hey he can pay tolls his grand! lol

    ill surrender my liecense to the gardai in a while ill confess i did the cardinal sin of not noticing a toll! lol

    I always wonder how non-English speakers deal with it. As far as I remember they don't have the signs in Italian.

    Just add an 'o' to the end of each word and read it a bit louder.

    If a friend asked me to drop them to Dublin Airport from Clare I'd point out that there's a big shiny airport pretty nearby in Shannon!

    That's cos he was stuck behind you for the last 15miles while you did your makeup and texted and missed 5 overtaking opportunities.

    I'm sure they'll be delighted to take it off you after reading this thread:)

    There's more than a few road signs on the M50 informing drivers about it.

    You aren't exactly painting a good light of your observation skills when driving :pac:

    those of us who live in Dublin and are used to the m50 would find it obvious, but for people who are driving along at 120k/hr and maybe chatting or not reading road signs, its not that obvious.

    can easily see how people miss it.

    I thought the fact that there was a barrier free toll on the M50 was quite well known, and I have only passed through it 3 times in about 4 years of driving

    Although driving from the Airport my self last week, southbound, I didn't see half as many signs as I did driving northbound from the N4 junction.

    Finally, if you are driving at 120 on the M50, and not reading the signs, its not road I want to be sharing with you, weather you are from Dublin or not.
