Multiple choice speed limit on the M50

31 comments

1. Double it and give it to the next person

2. Maybe this is a math quiz, and only the drivers solving it get to drive on the M50. A new approach to congestion….

3. Very poor design..

4. The answer is 60 and you get bonus points for taking the picture while driving🙄

5. 190 it is, nobody can tell me otherwise.

6. Ah the red cow roundabout . I honestly don’t understand how there isn’t a crash there everyday

7. You’re supposed to add them and average them, so the speed limit is:

   60 + 100 + 30 = 190

   190/3 = 63.3333kmh

8. Will the middle solve the riddle?

9. It’s a range limit. 60 is default, 100 max, 30 min.

10. Pick a speed any speed , car crash roulette

11. Have seen this nearly cause a serious accident on at least 2 occasions.

    Mind boggling idiocy.

12. The 100kmh is for when travelling *over* the barrier

13. If you pass each sign at the right speed you get a mystery box to use against other drivers

14. I’d best stay of the M50 so. My car can’t do 6,010,030kph, it can only reach warp 4.

15. You’re supposed to pass each sign at their respective speeds. It’s a test of your cars acceleration, your brakeing skills, and the airbag.

16. Road signs in Ireland are so bad.

    If you didn’t have a sat nav/ phone and solely relied on signage you’d be fecked.

    Also 80km/h on every shite little backroad down the country is hilarious

17. God liffey valley is lovely this time of year

18. > I know it’s 60, before someone points it out

    Honestly though, could someone actually point out how you’d know this? Is it more obvious from a different angle or something?

    Learner driver here and I would be confused. 60 looks like the least obvious option in this photo.

19. 30 for lorries, if you go around that bend faster than 30 in a lorry you’ll find out why it’s 30

20. Need a decent bit of power to get from 30 to 100 in 5 meters

21. 30km/h speed limit on the bend at all times approaching a 100km/h zone with variable speed limits in place, currently showing a 60km/h speed limit due to heavy volumes of traffic or roadworks taking place

22. It’s obvious isn’t it ?

    You are supposed to go from 30 to 100 In that distance then immediately brake to 60

    If you do it successfully the guards give you a personal handshake

23. Taken while driving…

24. Beginner: 30km
    Intermediate: 60km
    Expert: 100km

25. Was on the M50 on Saturday, perfect weather. The signs on the side said 100kph, the digital overhead sign said 80kpm and the flipping speed camera van was parked on one of the little ramps between Finglas and Santry, catching northbound traffic.

26. Using phone while driving? Hmmm

27. I don’t listen to signs so it doesn’t effect me.

28. You know yourself 🤣

29. Trying to learn this shit with zero help from anyone is one of the most disheartening things about living here. Why can’t it just make sense? Why can’t people do their jobs? Why do I need 20 family connections just to get basic things done?

30. Maybe it’s a lesson on how to drift your rear wheel drive sports car!

    Slam on brakes till at 30kph.

    Box change to a higher gear ‘2nd or 3rd’ depending on your horse power.

    Slam on accelerator.

    Spin rear wheels while slowly oversteering at 100kph

    Straighten up and exit corner at approximately 60kph (hence the grey color) or

    When ever you feel comfortable!

    Check mirrors and continue safely to your destination.

31. I’d assume the slowest speed, but definitely a strange design choice.
