    Default N3/M3 junction

    Is anybody familar with the junction where the M3/N3 just after Blanchardstown, on the city side, where the roundabout used to be but which is now a big set of traffic lights and some sort of spaghetti junction, up as far as the Travel Lodge at the Junction for Castleknock. Has anyone seen the current traffic system in place there at the moment? F*ck me its a joke!! Traffic cones telling you that the lane is closed (needlessly) every 500 yards as you come round a bend, then it opens again, then the other lane closes and everyone is bunching together, and there is no need for those lanes to be closed and squashed together. Its a complete disaster!!

    5 TYPES OF TRAFFIC JAM..

    No 1 the wife is a ride.. he is eager but cautious, due to anticipation he will allow you to cut him up
    No 2 the wife is bitch.. I havent had sex for months, stray one centimetre and you will be chased, cut up and verbally abused
    No 3 the wife is away..don't worry, you could pinch his car and he wouldn't notice
    No 4 the wife knows..be careful, he is the one trying to have a accident, he needs the money
    No 5 the divorced..hit me, you might as well everything else has.

    I think its more so AFTER that junction (on the Navan side) when the road is quieter. I use the bus alot and we have to go on the old road. It is alot quieter but the f*ckin limit is brought down from its previous 100kph limit to a mere 80kph zone now, the whole way along that old road until after Kells, at Whitegate on the Meath/Cavan border where the Motorway ends/starts. I know thats the law for it to be took down from 100kph to 80kph but thats rediculous, it it was good anough to do 100kph on it the last several decades it shouldn't be a problem now in having to stick to 80.

    But from that junction (Blanch/M50 roundabout junction) the traffic heading to and from dublin city is still the same, very sticky and sometimes very heavy. Half of it is down to gobshites laying back so far from each other that it just builds up the whole cars. But i think that N3/M3/M50 roundabout/junction is a total mess up, changing lanes than changing back etc., its unbelievable
