    You can exit from the side gate beside the IBM building. Much quicker since the temp lights there change to green far more quickly

    Yes, that was not the case when i posted that post back then. They opened the gate the following week and magically found temp traffic lights :)

    People,

    Fret not about the road works and ongoing construction up around that area!!..I live in Hartstown,cycle to work in Finglas most days.Around 2 weeks ago i had the 'pleasure' of coming upon a travellers funeral/removal at the cappagh bridge.. I joke ye not but at least 500 if not more took up the whole road between transits,hiaces, English relatives etc.. Hence to say, foot hit pedal, weaving between mourning drunken itinerants!!


    Lance Armstrong has invited me to join his new team!:)

    I drove out there on Friday, of course great to have the "old" road back, but a few moans:

    Why build a roundabout and put traffic lights on it?
    The lane set up is a bit confusing all the way out.
    I had a car in front in the bus lane, then they where half in and out of of it and then for the heck of it just pulled out into the proper lane. Maybe they where just a crap driver, but I think the road layout will take a lot of getting used to.
    Also finally, the lights alongside the road aren't great @ the minute.

    Which roundabout are you talking about with the lights, the one at the start of Snugborough Road ? If so, they're pedestrian lights which are needed there and were always there previously when it was a junction, they're not operational yet though.

    Ah right I was wondering why they would have lights on a roundabout. Id say the roundabout will keep everything flowing nicely.

    They better be pedestrian lights. Pretty pointless building a traffic light controlled roundabout to replace a traffic light controlled junction. :)

    Definitely pedestrian lights judging from the positions.

    Could be worse there's a roundabout in Mullingar with a stop sign.
