I think the N84 is considered the primary route & the R334 is practically a back road but is quite often a better road to travel on despite the bumpy surface. While the N17 is probably the official route between Galway & Mayo, the N84 is the more direct quicker route but parts of this are shocking, Shrule, Kilmaine etc..

I used to drive that road twice a week from Castlebar to Galway during rush hour; what an absolute hell-hole at times! The next N84 upgrade is quite likely to be from Galway to Luimnagh, but other than that, I can't see any upgrades any time soon. Sadly.

Ya, even if the Curragh line could be widened with a hard shoulder, it would be a help. Such a bottleneck to get out of Galway, so dangerous for a straight stretch of road with nowhere to pull in, breakdowns etc..
