    As already pointed out, when entering the m50 from the m1 south bound and again if exiting the m50 heading for clarehall

    One of those two spots does not require the use of the rightmost lane.
    M1 southbound, there's 5 lanes.....1 & 2 for the M50, 3 for the R139/Clarehall and 4 & 5 for Town.

    I'd be interested in how you would bring a truck to Dublin Airport from the M1 southbound without using the right lane as one must enter the motorway on the right lane on the section towards the airport.

    Further southbound, a truck entering the DPT make legally access it on the rightmost lane. Similarly, a truck may legally exit the DPT heading north on the rightmost lane.

    Perhaps you could enlighten us as to why you think the prohibition is not subject to speed limits.

    Actually, a truck cannot enter the DPT in the rightmost lane - there are specific signs all through the tunnel no 3 axle trucks in right lane.
