D’you know that last parking spot outside the savoy hotel that always has a car or van parked halfway out on the right hand lane, that really grinds my gears

I've been tempted to clip it a few times.

It is length ways parking. No one enforces it.

Traffic watch? You mean there exists an outlet for my parking induced rage?

Glad I could help, but in case you don’t find what you were looking for there, I’ve gone to Oscar and co in the parkway and was happy. Haven’t had a straight shave in a good while tho so can’t say if the new staff there are any good. It was the owner who did it for me but I haven’t seen him around much in the last year or so

You might just be oversensitive at this time of year, what you describe is a year round phenomenon in Limerick.

Think the Christmas time brings all the dodgy drivers out at once. It's a year round thing but in the last month the feckers have been out in force. Was gonna contact traffic watch but it's an 1890 number. Surely coming into 2020 you'd think they'd have an email address you could contact.

People seem to leave their brains at home this time of year, the consumerism bug just takes over and all logic goes out the window.

Mc Love

Two crashes this morning because of red light runners!

JamesBond2010

People have def left their brains @ home this time of year. It was out that joke of a retail park direction ''ONE''& parkway roundabout direction. Would lights work on that roundabout?
Childers road traffic seems hard to get on to roundabout with all Ul/dublin road traffic constantly coming on to it.

Eire-Dearg

Crash on the Ballysimon Road caused some tailbacks coming into the city for most of the morning.

eljono

We got caught in the O'Connell St. tailback this morning due to the accident. Hopefully all involved are ok.

What was surprising was that there was no diversion put in place to stop people continuing to enter O'Connell Street from Dublin Rd. Seems like an obvious thing to do?

Mc Love

No issues cycling, was able to whizz past everyone stuck in traffic

:pac: :cool:

phog

Some people are trying to claim pedestrianising O'Connell St for a block or two will not have an impact on traffic yet this morning we had tailbacks on the Corbally and Dublin Roads because of a few minutes of a road closure.

If you knew the road was pedestrianised would you still try to drive up it on the way to work in the morning? I think your analysis is a bit basic.

Insect Overlord

There was also a crash on the motorway this morning between Junctions 27 and 28.

Wise Old Elf

I was walking this morning for the first time in ages after I hurt my knee about 5 weeks ago, talk about some good fortune
Passed the tail end of the O'Connell st incident, 3 fire engines and foam all over the road, but the vehicle involved must have already been towed, I couldn't figure out what had happened, had to take to Twitter.

Lisa Smith out of Limerick prison tomorrow on bail. Scary.
