    Tom Tom have released the top 10 congested roads in Ireland.

    10- Navan Road - Dublin
    9 - Finglas Road - Dublin
    8 - Burgh Quay - Dublin
    7 - Commons Road - Cork
    6 - Abbeyleix village - Laois
    5 - Collins Avenue - Dublin
    4 - Lucan Bypass/Ballyowen - Co. Dublin
    3 - M8 at Dunkettle - Cork
    2 - Grove Road at Harolds Cross - Dublin
    1 - Templeogue Road Terenure - Dublin

    Lucan Bypass at Ballyowen the 4th worst for congestion.
    I suspect this is due to the orbital route feeding in to the Woodies bridge as well as all the housing estates being trapped, and very bad road engineering.
    So next time you are counting three cars getting through the lights before they go red, just remember that at least we have plenty of bus lanes and that someone out there knows that Lucan traffic is brutal.

    Red lights at the Lucan bypass?

    I guess TomTom is about 3 years behind :D

    There are lights at Ballyowen/Woodies - on the slip road exit for Lucan from the bypass.

    I wouldn't have thought Abbeyleix would be too badly with the Cork motorway fully open! :confused:

    that bus filter light is the reason for the templeogue road being number 1. you could be stuck at it for what seems like ages without another car on the road in the middle of the night. at rush hour it's just mental, staying green for about 3 cars.
