If im looking at that and im in the traffic, im just pulling into a restaurant and having dinner or a coffee.
No point sitting in it, you are going nowhere anytime soon.
Not surprised in slightest, the standard of driving of some road users is really poor and enforcement basic rules of the road is non existent and that’s before we get onto distracted driving. I’d get used to it, its not going to get any better.
Jesus, what a day to be on the M50!
Driving Home for Christmas..?
*( Road to Hell, more like…)*
Imagine if a fraction of them had a reliable public transport network to use
Top to toe in tailbacks?
Did anyone see any of the crashes? What the hell are these people doing to cause these accidents?
To get from clondalkin to Santry I ended up driving out as far as Lexilip/ ratoath.. supposedly a bin lorry on fire just after N4 joins the m50 northbound
How can so many people crash, when you are driving like <20km/hr?
Sitting in the office waiting for the redlines to clear
Drove Sputhbound over the M50 bridge a bit before 5 and there was a car in a raging fire on the Northbound side.
12 crashes….how, it’s a straight fucking road
Back to the office everyone 🫡
I’ve noticed some really bad, selfish driving the past couple of days
Cheers to those who advocated for return to work 🥂
And red line Luas had disruption too for a good few hours
Same thing on N7 trying to get through Naas, several unrelated crashes, today was mayhem
Came on at Blanch heading north to M1. Was wondering why our side was moving so free. Southbound looked awful.
I was on Kylemore Rd. From Ballyfermot to Crumlin and back at about 4pm and it was gridlock then. 10 minutes one way in regular traffic. Took about an hour. Glad I missed the wrecks. It’s always bad but today was insane.
Nice Christmas lights you got there
Traffic enforcement is very poor on the M50. Number of people happily scrolling as they drive is frightening.
A decade of a housing crisis yet i genuinely think the biggest threat to the government is the road traffic situation
Anyone else see the guy by J6 standing in front of his car and waving frantically in 5 lines of traffic? It was *mental* today
So there’s a haep of M50 crashes, all the C1 & C2 buses ended their journeys on Bachelors Walk, and there was issue with trains due to a fault. What a shitshow.
Big crash on M7 at Naas too , delayed me about 45 minutes
Relentless
Ohh man it’s total gridlock
In the M50 just after exit 7 S-N was a rubbish truck on fire…
I was on N-S and people were just stopping to grab a snap… typical Insurance evaluator behaviour…
Was even more surprised when i get to the nagor rd and was turned into a carpark as well…
It wasn’t too bad, if i had left work 10min late i would still be there…
Just heard about it now. Explains why town was fucking rammed
Was stuck in it today. Madness
I somehow dodged every crash bar one from Sanrty to Carlow, bar one which was 100ft in front of me on the N7, so basically a dodge. It still took me 2.5 hours to get home, I left at 4pm, home 6.30pm, with basically no crashes blocking my route, this is not ok!
Omg ;-;
At what point are things going to change cause this seems to be fuckin craic!
On a positive note, I was stuck on the M50 quite near the fire. It was significant. The emergency services did a super job with the clean up and got it open way quicker than I expected.
stay off your fucking phones for 5 fucking minutes fuckers 🤦
Went from Tallaght to Santry via the port tunnel. M50 was giving 1 hour 20 mins. Did it in just under an hour.
Theres a bin truck on fire on the M50
I parked and walked home from ballyfermot, about to go see if my car is still there, this doesn’t even show the half of it. Every road in ballyfermot was standstill. Took me a hour to travel a km.
Every road in this photo should be red it was hell.
This tread you can really tell the Sunday drivers and work from home people. Cause there in reddit rather then crying in shower after facing that.
I checked the M50 around 630pm and there was massive tailbacks going Soutbound but nothing was actually stopping the traffic going that different other than rubbernecking idiots. It was green the whole way past the crash on the other side.
Tis the season!
For everyone who is mad about this you should email your TD and tell them not to delay dart+ south west and luas finglas because it’s only going to get worse
Oddly I thought it was great there was no traffic on my drive home (Glasnevin and down the N2 past Ashbourne). I guess all the traffic got caught elsewhere 😅
Don’t invest in busses, railways or park and rides. Don’t build density in the cities because it might ruin the skyline. Here we are, surprise surprise.
This highlights three issues we face.
1. The lack of an alternative to the M50.
2. People are forced to go into a workplace when they can work from home.
3. The standard of driving is absolutely shocking these days.

Why can’t cunts drive?
My fiancée was 2 hours getting from docklands to D8. Shit time to be in a car or public transit.
