Comprehensive Traffic and Transport assessment in the planning documents with impact assessments, trip counters of other local surrounding units and junctions.

It is assumed that all Heavy Goods Vehicles travelling to the site will have origins/ travel routes as
follows:
• 30% of vehicles will arrive via the N7 from a point southwest of junction 4 or would join eastbound traffic at junction 4. These vehicles will turn left onto Barneys Lane at the left-in, left-out slip junction. From here, they will travel north and turn left onto Clonlara Road to access the site.

• 45% of vehicles will arrive via the N7 from a point northeast of junction 2.
➢ 100% of these vehicles will exit the N7 at the Kingswood interchange and travel north along the R136 before turning left at its roundabout with the Kingswood Business Park Access Road and left again at the t-junction with Baldonnell Road. They will then travel south along Baldonnell Road and access the site via Clonlara Road.

• 15% of vehicles will arrive via the R136 from a point north of its roundabout junction with the Kingswood Business Park Access Road and Corkagh Park Access Road. These vehicles will turn right onto the Kingswood Business Park Access Road at this roundabout and turn left at the t-junction with Baldonnell Road. They will then travel south along Baldonnell Road and access the site via Clonlara Road.

• 10% of vehicles will arrive via the R136 from a point south of the N7/ Kingswood Interchange.
These vehicles would continue north along the R136 through the Kingswood Interchange and turn left at the roundabout junction of the R136 with the Kingswood Business Park Access Road. From here, they will continue south west along the Kingswood Business Park Access
Road and turn left at its T-junction with Baldonnell Road. They will then travel south along
Baldonnell Road and access the site via Clonlara Road.


It is assumed that Heavy Goods Vehicles travelling away from the site will have destinations/ travel
routes as follows:

• 30% of vehicles will have destinations off the N7, at or southwest of junction 4.
➢ At the AM peak hour, these vehicles will exit the site onto Clonlara Road, continue straight through the Clonlara Road/ Baldonnell Road roundabout onto Baldonnell Road, turn right onto the Kingswood Business Park Access Road, before turning right onto the R136 at its junction with the Corkagh Park Access Road. From here, they would continue onto the Kingswood interchange, exiting onto the southwest lane of the N7 and travelling southwest towards their destination.
➢ At the PM peak hour, these vehicles will exit the site onto Clonlara Road, turn right onto Barneys Lane at the roundabout junction of Clonlara Road, Barneys Lane and Baldonnell Road. Continue along Barneys Lane before turning left onto the N7 at the Left-in, Left-out slip junction. From here, they will travel northeast on the N7 before turning around at the Citywest interchange to travel southwest bound on the N7 towards their destination.

• 45% of vehicles will have destinations off the N7, northeast of junction 2.
➢ At the AM peak hour, these vehicles will exit the site onto Clonlara Road, continue straight through the Clonlara Road/ Baldonnell Road roundabout onto Baldonnell Road, turn right onto the Kingswood Business Park Access Road, before turning right onto the R136 at its junction with the Corkagh Park Access Road. From here, they would continue through the Kingswood Interchange, exiting onto the northeast lane of the N7 and travelling northeast towards their destination.
➢ At the PM peak hour, these vehicles will exit the site onto Clonlara Road, turn right at the roundabout junction of Clonlara Road with Baldonnell Road, turn left onto the N7 at the Left-in, Left-out slip junction. From here, they will travel northeast on the N7 (past the Kingswood interchange) towards their destination.

• 15% of vehicles will have destinations accessible via the R136, north of its roundabout junction with the Kingswood Business Park Access Road. These vehicles will exit the site onto Clonlara Road, continue straight through the Clonlara Road/ Baldonnell Road roundabout onto Baldonnell Road, turn right onto the Kingswood Business Park Access Road, before turning left onto the R136 at its junction with the Corkagh Park Access Road and continuing north along the R136 towards their destination.

• 10% of vehicles will have destinations accessible via the R136, south of Kingswood
Interchange.
➢ At the AM peak hour, these vehicles will exit the site onto Clonlara Road, continue straight through the Clonlara Road/ Baldonnell Road roundabout onto Baldonnell Road, turn right onto the Kingswood Business Park Access Road, before turning right onto the R136 at its junction with the Corkagh Park Access Road and continuing south along the R136 (past the Kingswood Interchange) towards their destination.

Yes, but between 8-9am there's a tailback to get into citywest. Now you'll have a fleet of amazon trucks on top of that.
Maybe they'll be on the road earlier, and maybe citywest offices will never be as busy again post-covid, who knows...

Interestingly, Amazon are also in talks to take over a large warehouse in Shannon industrial estate.

Would presumably be responsible for the Western seaboard, Limerick, Cork & Galway. May significantly reduce the demand for the trucks at the Baldonnell facility to head south/south west.

Really that be handy for the Kerry region aswell. They have a warehouse in Cork aswell I think but say things are slow coming in from the UK at the best of times. They were on the news recently that things were moving slowing. It be great if they had an irish amazon website!

Spent nearly 400 euro on camera filters from formatt hightech last week. They deducted the vat at checkout so I was expecting a customs bill. It arrived today with everything correctly declared on the package but I payed nothing on top
Yet with Amazon they have charged 5 pounds on top of an order with 21 pound

Sounds like you got lucky there. You definitely should have had to pay Irish VAT and possibly import duty.

The same happened to me with something from the US in December.

Which courier delivered it? FedEx only collect outstanding money after the delivery.

Yes- I've been caught out this way before. Hopefully it got through.

Yeah I know I was chatting to a few people who bought equipment lately and around 80-90 was due on equipment for similar a price

I also ordered something on Amazon on Friday Night and it arrived yesterday. I'm a prime member. it was a great turn around.

The item I ordered was advertised as £229 . When I went through the checkout it came up as £190 + £41 import/duty fees. which I assume was the UK vat being taken off and the Irish VAT applied.

My order still hasn't updated since Belgium scan last Monday. Think it might be missing at this stage.

What was the delivery date on the site when you ordered?

Ordered Sunday morning early and delivered this afternoon, delivery expectation was Thursday.

Last 2 deliveries has been received within 2-3 days and are usually 2-3 days better than the expected delivery.

+1.

3 days seems about on point now for Prime. Estimates about 4 days after for me.
