    Dublin city is the biggest car park in the world, and they don't call that a car park either. :rolleyes:

    Big Chief, your right, it was a staff only car park when I walked past it this morning on my way to work, the sign is to stop people parking on the approach to it.

    Technically speaking the M50 is a linear car park.
    Quite resonable too at €1.30 per hour.

    And in the original proposal there was a clause that said they had to open the barrier if - and this is just so funny - the queue ever got beyond 70 meters !

    Today there were 7 Km tailbacks on it...
