M50 Nightmare

Driving along in my automobile
Map beside me, and I at the wheel
Road torn up mile after mile
My anger running wild...

The M50 is an absolute disaster area. Try driving on that baby at night and good luck to you if you come off it not feeling slightly confused!

Drove to Firhouse on Monday last for an 8pm match.
Got through the toll-bridge, carpark city, exited for Lucan as cars were whizzing up that lane. Thought I'd be smart and go up to the lights and back down the other side back onto the M50. Didn't realise that the layout changed completely. Ended up heading towards town. Pulled a Ueeee and got back onto the M50.
Traffic moved again. Diggers and trucks everywhere. Went by old Naas Road exit and wondered how you get there now as it was all blocked up with trucks!
Thanked my lucky stars that I wasn't heading to Ballymount as I was in the right-hand lane with a concrete wedge between me and the slow lane and thus would have missed that exit!
Thought I was the starlet of a movie set there were that many bright lights aimed directly at me. Blinded by the light, blinded by the light!
Made it to Firhouse eventually, but wondered about the level of sign-posting or lack thereof!

NOW, I fully understand how there are crashes on the blasted thing, that take out whole swathes of the city in one go, with such regularity! Even if you're in the correct lane at the correct speed, you could end up someone's ar$e in a flash if they pull across in front of you with haste having suddenly spotted their exit!

It won't be long now before employers start recruiting locally to boost morale in their offices to stop the M50 Moaners!!!
