  1. If im looking at that and im in the traffic, im just pulling into a restaurant and having dinner or a coffee.

    No point sitting in it, you are going nowhere anytime soon.

    Not surprised in slightest, the standard of driving of some road users is really poor and enforcement basic rules of the road is non existent and that’s before we get onto distracted driving. I’d get used to it, its not going to get any better.

  3. Did anyone see any of the crashes? What the hell are these people doing to cause these accidents?

  4. To get from clondalkin to Santry I ended up driving out as far as Lexilip/ ratoath.. supposedly a bin lorry on fire just after N4 joins the m50 northbound

    My fiancée was 2 hours getting from docklands to D8. Shit time to be in a car or public transit.

  6. Drove Sputhbound over the M50 bridge a bit before 5 and there was a car in a raging fire on the Northbound side.

    Came on at Blanch heading north to M1. Was wondering why our side was moving so free. Southbound looked awful.

  8. I was on Kylemore Rd. From Ballyfermot to Crumlin and back at about 4pm and it was gridlock then. 10 minutes one way in regular traffic. Took about an hour. Glad I missed the wrecks. It’s always bad but today was insane.

  9. Traffic enforcement is very poor on the M50. Number of people happily scrolling as they drive is frightening.

  10. A decade of a housing crisis yet i genuinely think the biggest threat to the government is the road traffic situation

  11. Anyone else see the guy by J6 standing in front of his car and waving frantically in 5 lines of traffic? It was *mental* today

    So there’s a haep of M50 crashes, all the C1 & C2 buses ended their journeys on Bachelors Walk, and there was issue with trains due to a fault. What a shitshow.

  13. In the M50 just after exit 7 S-N was a rubbish truck on fire…

    I was on N-S and people were just stopping to grab a snap… typical Insurance evaluator behaviour…

    Was even more surprised when i get to the nagor rd and was turned into a carpark as well…

    It wasn’t too bad, if i had left work 10min late i would still be there…

  14. I somehow dodged every crash bar one from Sanrty to Carlow, bar one which was 100ft in front of me on the N7, so basically a dodge. It still took me 2.5 hours to get home, I left at 4pm, home 6.30pm, with basically no crashes blocking my route, this is not ok!

  15. On a positive note, I was stuck on the M50 quite near the fire. It was significant. The emergency services did a super job with the clean up and got it open way quicker than I expected.

  16. Went from Tallaght to Santry via the port tunnel. M50 was giving 1 hour 20 mins. Did it in just under an hour.

    I parked and walked home from ballyfermot, about to go see if my car is still there, this doesn’t even show the half of it. Every road in ballyfermot was standstill. Took me a hour to travel a km.

    This tread you can really tell the Sunday drivers and work from home people. Cause there in reddit rather then crying in shower after facing that.

  19. I checked the M50 around 630pm and there was massive tailbacks going Soutbound but nothing was actually stopping the traffic going that different other than rubbernecking idiots. It was green the whole way past the crash on the other side.

  20. For everyone who is mad about this you should email your TD and tell them not to delay dart+ south west and luas finglas because it’s only going to get worse

  21. Oddly I thought it was great there was no traffic on my drive home (Glasnevin and down the N2 past Ashbourne). I guess all the traffic got caught elsewhere 😅
