    Planned and scheme suspended, but not as a motorway - as that site calls the 2+1 at Piltown the "M24" also I suspect an error of understanding. They appear to refer to any DC scheme as "M" as there's an "M3" reference for something very much on the N3.

    Ahh i didn't think to check the NRA. M24 caught my attention and I thought it was a bit over the top. There's a few projects on that site completed and other suspended

    If and when the scheme gets done, expect the 2+1 to be replaced with 2+2. And good riddance I say. 2+1 does not work in Ireland.

    Whatever about the overall merits of 2+1 roads the section of it they built at Pilltown/Fiddown is truly awful, especially at night.

    The central median is very badly designed being just two wires as opposed to a proper median, the junctions on either side seem to protrude right out into the road and the fact that part of the road is raised up as well means you tend to lose a little bit of definition of the edges.

    It's been a while since I've used it at night but every time I drove that section especially going from Carrick-on-Suir to Waterford I was always glad to get off it. The reverse direction doesn't seem as bad.
