    Not strictly a Wicklow forum question, but it is a route well known to those commuting from Wicklow to Dublin.
    Travelling north, there are exits 16, 15, and 13 - where is exit 14, or am I shortsighted?

    So I'm not bonkers then.
    I thought it was something to do with superstition (having a number 12 and 14 but no 13) but they just got it wrong :o

    They did not get it wrong, there's just no exit northbound at that junction, only one southbound.

    It's alright, I was wondering the same thing recently! What made it worse was when I questioned it people told me there was an exit 14 and I just didn't see it. :confused: The above clarifies all for me...

    I used to ask the same question about exit 8 which does't exist on either side so not sure why they jumped numbers? Maybe they planned to put an exit there at some point.

    there was originally a plan to build a new motorway from Dublin to Naas - the M7 which would've connected to the M50 at Junction 8. In the end the plan was scrapped and they upgraded the existing N7 instead.

    I noticed a tree house, high up a tree on the western side of the Glen of the Downs the other day. Anyone know if this a leftover from the protest or what's the story?
