Port tunnel signage

What's up with the Port Tunnel signage? It is downright confusing for the poor schmucks who aren't from around. Like the person in the English reg. car last night on my way to bball. He obviously looked up, saw an abundance of signs that said "City Centre, Keep Left". So he kept left and ended up on the slip road for Coolock. He starts to brake near the top figuring he was lost and then manages to go straight back down the other side of the slip road to the city centre.

It is THE most ridiculous system. All the trucks on the one hand are coming down from the M50, on the left, having to cross three lanes of traffic to get into the Port Tunnel. Then you have all the cars speeding up the M1 and let's be honest loads of those Northern reg. cars do not slow down, so they come flying along, suddenly realise that they are headed straight for the tunnel unless they veer across two lanes, avoid the barrage of trucks and somehow end up in the lane for the city centre. It's just madness. That is of course when the marvellous tunnel is open. I won't even go there.
