    Hi, firsty I know this may not be the best place for this but the regional section does not look too busy so felt I'd not get an answer in time.

    I have my NCT at 6.15 this evening, I'll be joining the M1 from Santry then taking Exit 4 off the M50. Fortunately, I never need to be on these roads at this time so no idea what to expect traffic wise? Any thoughts anyone?

    And, there is nothing planed with the truckers, is there?

    Thanks!!

    If people drive properly 10-15 minutes.

    If someone decides to rear end someone along that route, or shortly beyond it, could be upwards of an hour.

    If you drive to the end of the m50 north side, and take the big roundabout to start back on m50 going southbound, you can see the Sugarloaf which is after the end of the m50 opposite end. Wow!!

    Just go early and get a takeaway coffee, even if you have to hang around for half an hour it's less stressful than being stuck in traffic.

    You can see the sugarloaf and the Dublin Wicklow mountains form a lot of north county Dublin.

    They'll probably accept the car early when you get to the centre anyway.

    Thanks for all your replies. I was worried it might take an hour, I've read so many horror stories. Yeah I might chance my look and get there early and see if they do me.

    This.

    It's basically a lottery at the best of times, but 100x moreso at rush hour.

    Go early and have a coffee (or persuade them to take you early).

    Went a bit early and got seen to. 15 min each way. If I had not been turning off Exit 4 it would have been a very different story though!

    My '02 car passed first go to, so a happy bunny :)
