    Just wondering, how long does it take you to get to Work/school in you car? Does your area suffer from bad traffic, exciting my estate, about 40 metres for me used to take 20 mins, it was terrible, then we got permission for the m50 to be extended so that people could just cut straight onto the M50 which cleared the traffic up greatly! now it takes me less than 10 mins to get to school by a coach, its a little over a mile, just straight down the M50 for me!

    I take the same route to the same area in the mornings as OJ. I leave a bit later than him tho (afaik) and it takes me a little over 20 mins on average. It used to be a right pain in the bollox before that new slipway. Took around 50mins on some mornings to travel around 100m.

    !!!! Your own private access to the M50, in breach of the Motorways Act, 1976?

    It's not quite like that. Basically they extended a slipway onto the northbound lane by about 300 yards which reduced the mass of traffic arriving at the bridge at the same time.

    50minutes.
    Traffic on Stillorgan Dual carriageway is usually pretty bad in the mornings (about 8am). Then town is too. Once you get through town the rest isnt too bad. Ballsbridge/Donnybrook is usually jammers too actually from around the British Embassy up to the American one.

    Takes me 5-10 mins to walk into college. If it's only one mile you have to travel get a bike?

    takes me about 25 minutes to get to work (Coolock to Blanchardstown) and about 45 minutes to get home. I don't bother using the M50 any more, the back roads are quicker.
