    Maybe there will be "enforcement" in the form of warnings as opposed to fines during this period. That would seem to be the best way to do this so as to get people used to process. As a regular user of this section of the road I'll watch to see if there are any gardai patrolling when the advisory phase is ongoing.

    Even hiding behind "Technical reasons" wouldn't be the worst idea. First maybe month run a pilot with letters going out to people who break the limit and call it proof-of-concept.

    I saw them active on Saturday southbound between Jn4 and Jn6.

    White squares with 100 in them.

    1 over each lane including the auxiliary lane.

    What works are underway south bound on the M50? Work in the center island and hard shoulder around Carrickmines.

    They’re not listed on https://www.m50concession.com/planned-road-works/ for some reason. They’re pretty good at responding on Twitter if you ask them.

    They've been ongoing for a number of months at this stage. Seems to be pipe or cable laying in the shoulders and median

    Looks to be a bit more as their installing concrete pillar type structures too, presumably for overhead gantry installation?

    Speaking of gantry, the m50 was obstructed for a period today due to a truck's burst tyre being in the middle lane. But the new overhead digital signs only applied a reduce speed limit and not a lane closure. Do the new technology not offer this functionality?
