Agreed Shankill was soooo bad.
And do you remember when that excuse of a Roscrea bypass was built, the time it cut off the journey even though the bypass is now a bottleneck!
How is the bypass a bottleneck??
It did cut off time journeys, do you realise how much mayhem it was pre bypass (despite lower traffic levels) trucks couldn't get up or down Limerick a car or truck passes from the opposite side.
Mountrath has the same problem. The traffic light system works brillantly to keep traffic moving through mountrath, but again the turn just before the the square can't allow two heavy vehicles to pass, so you can get tailbacks here. When the Nenagh to Limerick scheme opens, I suspect mountrath to be even more crazy.
Borris in Ossary (growing town) is also a bottleneck now. It will be interesting to see if the new roundabout will slow things down more. A lot of new houses have gone up here, since Borris in Ossary will be the closest town past Portaoise from a Motorway. If the house markets stabalise Borris in Ossary will be a very attractive place for Dublin buyers.
Did anyone mention- Loughrea:eek:
- Naas
- Newbridge
- Rathcoole (one of Irelands oldest bottlenecks:))
The towns that still suffer really bad congestion
Adare
Newcastlewest
Mountrath
Abbeyleix
Ballinsloe (bypassed Q2 2010)
Gort (bypassed (Q2 2010)
Chareville
Claregalway.
They really need to start the
N20 phase 1 scheme now
Adare and Croom section start in 2010
Chareville to Mallow phase two
Mallow to Cork Phase 30 -

There was still a few rat runs out by Doora and the Quin road that not too many knew about.Chris_533976 wrote: »Ennis was awful, definately. From Clarecastle to the north of Ennis was 40 minutes on a good day usually. Its just such a long town, at least with most bottlenecks theres one squeeze and then you're out, but with Ennis it just went on and on and on.

Back to bottlenecks
Oranmore

Do you check anything before you type? Dublin and Cork have a load of national routes forming city streets too. :rolleyes: Pretty much every city in Ireland (inc. NI) has national routes or primary routes through its centre!
In fairness to mysterious, im sure he meant that the other cities have bypasses that lead you to not have to use roads like the N1/2/3/4/11 right into their middle.
Although...Sligos N4 goes right to city centre too.
Nonetheless i have my popcorn at the ready. Arguments with Mysterious on this forum have become like celebrity deathmatch..without the celebrities

Murphaph, Murphaph what do we do with you??
I said Limerick was a more of a through road for national traffic, the other cities have national routes that merely end or begin at arrival. It doesn't only have national routes forming its streets but its also the main east-west and north south crossroads of this country. Limerick is also a major crossing of the River Shannon.
Limerick still is a huge national traffic bottleneck,
The city centre and Dock/Dublin roads still suffer chronic national route traffic despite the southern ring road in place.
Some of the routes
Cork - Galway
Wateford Galway
Kerry - Dublin (bypassed)
Clare - Dublin
North Cork - Dublin (bypassed)
These routes use the main streets of Limerick STILL.0 -
