This madness actually extends just over 6 miles.(for about 5 miles)
This madness actually extends just over 6 miles.
I measured it when I was snailing along, wondering where the workmen were (or even the slightest hint that there was actually work being carried out)
Does anyone know the reason for the new 60kph speed limit on the Nenagh Bypass (N7)? Its being upgraded top dual carriage way
It's one of the best stretches of road along the N7, yet the speed limit has been reduced to 60kph and there is a line of traffic cones in the middle of the road (for about 5 miles). As a result, if there is a breakdown there could be absolute chaos. There is a 24hr recovery helpline as there is on most roadways during upgarding, increasing the speed limit wouldn't reduce the chaos.
I drove along this road on St Stephens night, at 60kph. When I came out at the Dublin end, I sped-up to 100kph. Then a car behind me, a few cars back, drove up alongside me on the wrong side of the road, blowing it's horn and flashing it's lights. I slowed, forcing him/her past me. Then he/she moved in front of me, and shimmied/fishtailed and braked.
I slowed further and put on my hazards to warn other motorists that all was not right, ie, that there was a nutter on the loose (probably holiday release over the Christmas period)
Had I thought of it in time, I should have overtaken them again, as they'd slowed right down at this stage!Did you report his erratic driving to the gardai?
How on earth did you force another car into doing something?I slowed, forcing him/her past me.
Hand on heart can you say that there is no sign of work being carried on there?
... yet you want to put the safety of workmen at risk for a few loiusy minutes.
How on earth did you force another car into doing something?
I was driving at about 100 KPH, the other car on the other side of the road was driving at about 100 KPH.
I braked, reducing my speed to approximately 80 KHP, however the other car was still moving at about 100 KPH. Therefore the other car was moving at a speed of 25% greater than my car, and as a result, passed me.
Then a car behind me
??the other car on the other side of the road
Thing is, along that whole stretch you cannot see any works going on.
Guatama said:And, like already stated, it's the best stretch of road along the N7. It's the last part of that road that I'd upgrade as there are other parts that needs upgrading.
That's what I posted. Why would I bother lying?Hand on heart can you say that there is no sign of work being carried on there?
Say it's 6 miles long and you travel it at 60 KMs/hr how much longer are you on the stretch than if you were allowed drive at 100KMs/hr? At a guess I'd say minutes yet you want to put the safety of workmen at risk for a few loiusy minutes.
Are you now saying the other driver decided to overtake you or are you still saying you forced him into a move?
For those of you that have travelled the road and haven't seen any sign of work have a look at both side of the road at the Limerick end of the bypass. There is heavy machinery digging and drawing backfill to allow for widening of the road. Maybe you were going too fast to notice.
It has been established the difference in between the restricted speed limit and the maximun speed limit is only 4 minutes - no argument really when you consider safety.
