Road conditions-Report here please

Not

Given no one has posted here this morning can I take it that it's just crap everywhere ? Maybe everyone who has ventured out this morning is still stuck

Anyway, does anyone know if the hill at the Curragh Camp is passable this morning ?

Slane Resident

N2 still very bad at Slane but cars are getting through. Anybody got any update on the M1, and access to Collon?

zuroph

Kerry anyone?

ManAboutCouch

The N7 from Dublin to Naas is passable, if slow. I saw a couple of cars sliding around the place if they made any sudden movements, whether lane changes or braking, so take it easy out there and leave plenty of room between you and the car in front.

given the length of cold spell, councils have decided to reduce their use of salt now in case they run out later in winter. THEY CANT EVEN GET THE BASICS RIGHT!

Just came from the m50 heading southbound from sandyford and although theres no traffic the m50 is in a state...badly needs to be cleared

Darwin

The M7 southbound is pretty much single lane operation from Naas until approximately the exit for Kildare, but fairly clear from then on towards Portlaoise.

Anyone know what it's like around north side shopping center?

LookingFor

Roads seem worse today around D15, around the residential roads at least, than any other day so far in this spell.

Take Roselawn Road for example - traffic is very quiet, and it's pretty much an ice rink. Yesterday and on previous days the combination of heavier traffic and thaw gave much better conditions, but they're pretty terrible today.

On a general note, the whole place seems remarkably...peaceful...today. Not many people out and about.

Oscar Traynor road up to it like an ice rink.

Roads v poor around Tullow,snowing hard since early this morning, close to a foot in our garden already. Traffic finding it hard to make it up hill to Castledermot and road to Baltinglass impasssible in places.

Hi. Any update on N11, need to get to work tomorrow, arklow to dublin?

Supercell

N11 northbound around Lepordstown church is blocked, several cars sideways and huge tailbacks as the other cars cannot get up the hill, avoid the area if you can.
I actually saw a Garda with a shovel trying to dig out the snow around a stuck car, crazy stuff!

CMCSlane

Roads into and out of Slane are impassable at the moment despite continual gritting.
Any news on the M1 and M3 tolls opening to allow free transit for all vehicles due to adverse weather conditions?
Wouldn't this solve some of the dangerous slipsliding of HGVs and other vehicles through the village on both N2 and N51 in Slane today?
The Gardai won't close the roads in and out of Slane and say they've done enough by indicating that it is dangerous to travel at the moment.
If they lifted the tolls on all serviceable motorways, it would be easier to allow urgent travel to take place and ensure the safety of both vehicles and pedestrians.
Please contact your local councillors and the NRA to get them to act in our interests.
See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfPEF2ImcuE for a taster of what Slane looked like a couple of hours ago. More snow has fallen in the meantime.

As mentioned in the big thread, Lucan is pretty snowy. The slip roads at Liffey Valley are (were at 11:30am) white and slippy looking - they didn't look very trafficked at all. Similar with the Foxhunter sliproad (westbound), though it was worn a bit more. The bus and other cars seemed to be making it up OK. No queue though, so it was a rolling stat to it. Back before Palmerston, the N4 had one white lane and one driving lane in parts (again, westbound).

In Lucan, the Outer Ring Road would need slow driving - a lot of white/brown snow. All roads off it and in estates are white - fresh snow/graupel on the compacted ice/snow from earlier.

North Strand Road in Dublin bad - cars struggling to make it up the hill over the canal, from both directions. This will affect a large number of bus routes.

Fairview Strand and Ballybough Road heading in the direction of the canal also treacherous. Cars sliding on the road about 20 minutes ago, it was starting to grind to a halt. Very slow on the main Fairview Road both ways, the road looks like an ice rink right now.

N7 almost totally covered with snow from Naas to Dublin.

Trucks were having problems climbing the on/off ramps on both sides of the red cow causing big delays. The Longmile road is almost pure white.

Travelling from Galway to Boyle this evening... any update on the state of these roads? cheers

Not

The old N3 from Trim roundabout through Dunshaughlin is seriously in need of a snow plough. There is quite a depth of snow/slush/frozen ice between the wheel tracks, any higher and it will be problemmatic for cars.

Opps! edit: wrong thread.

Was on M8 from Horse n J to Fermoy this morning. Serious snow from H+J to south of Cahir exit. Only left lane safe. I expect the snow to remain all day so be careful in Tipp/KK on M8!!!
Cahir to fermoy was fine.

The Dublin traffic cameras page has finally been updated to include some new views.

Anyone drive dublin-cork on the motorway or Dublin-Galway

What are they like?

af_thefragile

Just drove down N4. Little slippery on the chapalizod bypass but after the m50 its well salted and grand. I was comfortably able to do over 60kmph. Just drive on the black stuff between the snowy bits...! I think two lanes are clear and good to drive on. The quays in the city center were fine as well. Well salted so not much black ice. Still be careful.

mikep

Just drove M8 from Horse and jockey to fermoy...Road treated so not too bad. Snowing in Fermoy now though...

Sponge Bob

Galway City is fine, the sleet did not freeze on contact with the ground.

Anyone know how the R741 is on way from the Ballagh to Wexford town?

mac80

M1 lethal at donabate southbound as is all roads around Dublin Airport

From aa website

The N25 Sth Ring Rd is totally blocked due to numerous crashes and abandoned cars near the old Kinsale Flyover

The route is treacherous from Balincollig to Douglas. Blackstone Bridge should be avoided. Avoid the N25 Cork/Midleton rd is also treacherous at the Carrigtwohill Bypass; there are numerous multi vehicle crashes and vehicles gone off the road. Avoid the Whitegate/Midleton Rd as Ballinacurra to the Lakeview R/A is impassable.
