M50 southbound Kilternan exit - new white lines?

Nephew

Whats the deal with the freshly painted white lines at the southbound Kilternan exit? It looks as if some drunk found some paint on his way home from the pub.

noticed them today myself, on the lead up to the exit, and coming off it too - looked really odd - like thet try to make it a 3 lane road, from the middle white line as opposed to from the side. don't know what they were doing.

I saw them too, I wondered if they are going to do work in the overtaking lane and so had to get rid of the hard shoulder temporarily?

I think they will be starting upgrade works or something like that, I saw a notice on the DLRCC website about introducing a new lower speed limit for 12 months due to roadworks. More crap for us to deal with..

I suspect it's to do with work to do with building the overbridge for the Luas extension to Cherrywood .. happy days.

They've now imposed a 60km/h speed limit in the area, which most people are ignoring. Do you reckon the guards will be out with the speed gun soon?
