Headin to KK Tomorrow
-
16-05-2010 6:56pm#1Headin up the new motorway tomorrow to the Marble 'town'...... looking at google maps it looks pretty straight forward until I get near the end at Knocktopher/sheepstown.
Does it get messy here cause knowing my luck I'll probably end up in Clare or somewhere.

Once at the old bridge in Waterford, keep into the left lane and take the slip road towards the N9. You will continue on a dual carriage way, passing two sets of traffic lights, and remaining in the left lane unless overtaking.
You will come to a roundabout which has three exits - the first for the N9 (this is closed for a few months, but you can use this road to go to Limerick for example), the second for the bypass and the third for Ferrybank. Take the second exit and continue onto the next roundabout.
As you approach the next roundabout - it gets pretty tricky as there is a few lanes. You move into the right lane this time as the left one is marked for left turn only. This roundabout has three exits - the first brings you over the new bridge towards cork or the ORR, the second brings you towards the M9 (Motorway to Dublin) and the third brings you onto the bypass going for New Ross. Take the second exit and continue on (the lanes are indicated clearly for which one you need to use, if in doubt).
You will approach another roundabout then with two exits - one bound for Limerick and one bound for Dublin on the M9. Take the second exit and you will enter onto the motorway. Keep to the left lane unless over taking.
Travel along the motorway for about 15-20mins or so and you will pass a number of exits such as Mullinavat and Thomastown. Eventually you will see road work signs which indicate a diversion ahead and the right lane being closed. This brings you onto the Kilkenny exit as the rest of the motorway has not yet been completed. As you take the exit ramp, you will enter a roundabout with two exits - the first for Kilkenny and the second brings you onto the N9. Take the first exit and continue on.
Carry on for about 10mins or so and you will arrive at the first of Kilkennys roundabout (the one before the ORR). I assume you know where to go from here
Good Luck and enjoy the drive
(Note: Just a tip - there are numerous garda bays along the motorway for checking speed etc. They also check it on the slip road as you pass by. One particular offense people seem unaware of is driving in the wrong lane. If you drive on the right lane all the time you can be fined €60 and given 1 penalty point by the Gardai).0 -
