Maynooth - moyglare road

Is traffic coming in the moyglare road really as bad as everyone says? Would it deter you from living out there even if you found the house you had been searching for?

On school days yes, and no - it wouldn't deter me, the horrific walk would. The one shop (if its even still open) anywhere closer than the town centre would kill me. Although I could get used to a pub on my doorstep if in Moyglare Village - its still a decent walk from Moyglare Hall though.

There is a back road to dodge most of the town, if your heading for the motor way into Dublin that'd sort the traffic issue. As for the walk its a solid 25 minutes from Moyglare hall into the town. And that's walking fast. Definitely doable but up to yourself if that's too much.

Thanks a million. It's not moyglare hall I'm looking at. Had really hoped to stay in the straffan side but there's such a shortage of houses.

WEll then you should be grand. It's a handier side for the schools too if that's an issue for you too.

The front of Moyglare Village or the apartment/townhouse estate (never knew the name but apparently its Moyglare Meadows) are much more acceptable than Moyglare Hall or Abbey are for walking time.

The 66 bus extension should help, a lot, but its horribly delayed.

The road is suboptimal for cycling due to being quite narrow, its not changed since I was a teenager in that regard and that's regrettably long ago!

I don't have an issue with the traffic or the walk to be honest. Once you know the school times traffic can be easily avoided by taking the back road. I walk from the back of moyglare abbey to manor mills a few times a weeks and it takes 15 mins max pushing a buggy!

If i recall right, you use the toll daily to get somewhere north of liffey?

You can avoid the town by heading out moyglare road, right at small cross roads, left at t junction and out to Dunboyne in about 15 mins.

Roads not great when ice about in winter.

Going into the city via Dunboyne can double the journey time due to traffic but it is super handy and fast for Blanch .
