Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Apr 18, 2007 by odlumNot a bad gantry sign but the (N32) shouldn't be patched (same rules as the UK) and 'other routes' is a bit vague for my liking, They should have just printed 'N32-N2-N3-N4-N7-N81-N11' on the sign and dispensed with 'Malahide' altogether.

Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Oct 31, 2009 by odlumThe new free-flow carriageway over the M1 is visible on the horizon. This will be used by citybound and port tunnel-bound traffic.
Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Sep 18, 2009 by csdI'm not very keen the actual proposed plans for the M1/M50 interchange which involves building just a couple of bridges over the existing roundabout interchange that to continue on the M50 either way you'll need to turn off to stay on.
I think the M50 should continue by bypassing this interchange heading south to the Port Tunnel and the M1 to start/end on the M50 that the M50 is supposed to be the Dublin 'Orbital' Motorway but look at Manchester's M60 at one point you still have to turn off to stay on...

Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Jul 29, 2007 by LocatedPrepare to stop? Yes, the northern terminus of the M50 terminates at a signal-controlled roundabout. Thankfully, those heading north on the M1 can take the free-flow slip signed on this gantry. This interchange will be upgraded to fully free-flowing as part of the M50 Upgrade scheme, due to start this year.
