Maldron Roundabout

Azatadine · 10-06-2021 10:04pm

It's really the last 2 weeks where its gone to hell again. Backed up right back through the Whitford roundabout. All the extra Rosslare traffic (lorries) will play hell with it even more.

Off over Fort Mountain for me I think.

No, it would not add to traffic going onto N25, the traffic would be the same - its a slip road from the N11 onto N 25, there is plenty of room for it. Looks like they actually left room for it when they were building the bypass.https://www.google.ie/maps/@52.3377359,-6.5152747,3a,75y,219.75h,79.53t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s6UQ3a-0KRbGpI8No54Hg1Q!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo2.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3D6UQ3a-0KRbGpI8No54Hg1Q%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D100.13368%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192

Isn’t that all the N25? The N11 only begins beyond the Maldron roundabout

Started almost at the Rosslare roundabout this evening......20 mins to reach Maldron.

Dilbert75 · 28-06-2021 8:31pm

Ouch. The M11 to Rosslare can't come soon enough.

Yeah, its shocking. Loads of lorries in it.

The amount of traffic in the last month or two on the roundabouts is shocking now. Even the Killeens roundabout is getting busy too.

Yeah, its just a blockade the whole way almost from the Rosslare roundabout to Maldron now most evenings.

Azatadine · 21-07-2021 8:36pm

Fecking disaster these evenings.....all the way back to Rosslare roundabout from Maldron roundabout.... 😖

Forth Mountain getting busy now too.

Azatadine · 05-08-2021 5:26pm

The situation is getting scandalous!!!!! This evening the traffic was backed through all of the roundabouts to the town side of the Farmers Kitchen. All of the side roads were backed up too.

Fort Mountain Road the only option now.

Azatadine · 11-10-2021 5:13pm

Shocking traffic.....

webpal · 11-10-2021 7:57pm

Roadworks on Thursday and Friday apparently. Stop go system between maldron and whitford. That should be fun

Azatadine · 11-10-2021 8:14pm

Yeah, should be even more fun than usual. I assume its the extra ferry sailings that are causing the ferocious traffic? When do they plan to start working on the bypass to Rosslare? Talks of opening the rail line to Waterford for freight too I hear?

Azatadine · 21-04-2022 2:23pm

Resurrecting this one again......the situation is gone beyond ridiculous in the evenings again. It features in the national airwaves most evenings now. The traffic is regularly backed up from NR roundabout to the Rosslare roundabout.

Azatadine · 17-08-2022 3:06pm

Saw 2 accidents in Barntown last week alone. All as a result of the crazy traffic management that's going on at those roundabouts. Barntown is a crazy junction now too due to the volume flaking it through there after spending 30 mins queuing at the Maldron and Whitford roundabouts. I come over Forth Mountain to avoid it but Larkins Cross is crazy now too with traffic coming out there after crossing the mountain. Saw that accident.....very lucky to survive it so he was but looks like he has a long road back.

A rrelatively simple adjustment to the lanes at the roundabouts would help resolve the crazy traffic there. Same as they did for Whitford to resolve the morning issue.

No talk of improving the traffic situation and this will make it even worse.

What a shitshow the traffic is.

It's beyond a pisstake now at this stage. The whole town is in a choke from it. The ring roads are backed up everyday and have been as long as I can remember, sinnottstown lane is backed up some days now too. The faythe is backed up aswell from the Talbot to Rocklands garage, and then theres road works in Killnick now too which is slow moving traffic.

Azatadine · 22-05-2023 12:54pm

It really is a pisstake and there isn't any easy way around it now either. As you said Sinnottstown lane is often backed up now too and I usually go over Forth Mountain but it's always backed right up at Barntown too. There were a couple of evenings last week when it was backed up all the way to the Rosslare roundabout.

Coming out there yesterday at 2 o’clock.. traffic from Rosslare Road roundabout (just before/after McDonald’s) down to ferrycarrig!

how it’s been allowed to continue like this is beyond me.

Azatadine · 30-05-2023 7:19pm

Yep, stretches from the Rosslare roundabout to the Maldron most evenings now and all of the smaller roads, which are atrocious in terms of suitability for traffic, are starting to clog up now too. I just don't get it ....surely even a review of the roundabouts in terms of changing the lanes would help.....left for left and use the right lane to go straight (and right obviously). Adding a feeder lane for left going traffic on the roundabouts wouldn't cost a lot either. Either way, they don't seem to give a damn. It's deadly with cars doing u-turns on the road. Only a matter of time before there's a serious accident.

Changing the lanes won't help as I've seen a huge number of cars purposely go into the wrong lane, if the correct lane has a queue and go around that way.

A feeder lane would work though.
