Regional Road (Ireland)
A regional road () in the Republic of Ireland is a class of road not forming a major route (such as a national primary road or national secondary road), but nevertheless forming a link in the Roads in Ireland, national route network. There are over 11,600 kilometres (7,200 miles) of regional roads. Regional roads are numbered with three-digit route numbers, prefixed by "R" (e.g. R105 road (Ireland), R105). The equivalent road category in Northern Ireland are Roads in Northern Ireland#"B" roads, B roads. History Until 1977, classified roads in the Republic of Ireland were designated with one of two prefixes: Trunk roads in Ireland, "T" for trunk roads and "L" for link roads. The ''Local Government (Roads and Motorways) Act, 1974'' authorised the designation of roads as national roads: in 1977, twenty-five national primary roads (N1-N25) and thirty-three national secondary roads (N51-N83) were initially designated under the ''Local Government (Roads and Motorways) Act, 1974 (Declar ...

Motorways In The Republic Of Ireland
In Ireland, the highest category of road is a motorway (''mótarbhealach'', plural: ''mótarbhealaí''), indicated by the prefix M followed by a one- or two-digit number (the number of the national route of which each motorway forms a part). The motorway network consists entirely of motorway-grade dual carriageways and is largely focused upon Dublin. There are also several three-lane motorways, while Ireland's busiest road, the M50, incorporates four-lane, five-lane, and six-lane stretches. The completion of the Major Inter-Urban Motorway Project in December 2010, which saw Dublin connected to the cities of Cork, Limerick, Waterford and Galway by continuous motorway, as well as a number of other projects, increased the total length of the country's motorway network to 916 km. Planned new road construction will possibly lead to there being almost 1100 km of motorway by 2035, subject to the availability of funding. Features Regulations Motorways in Ireland have a ...

Bypass (road)
A bypass is a road or highway that avoids or "bypasses" a built-up area, town, or village, to let through traffic flow without interference from local traffic, to reduce Traffic congestion, congestion in the built-up area, to improve road safety and as replacement for obsolete roads that are no longer in use as a result of devastating natural disasters (earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, volcanic eruptions). A bypass specifically designated for trucks may be called a truck route. If there are no strong land use controls, buildings are often built in town along a bypass, converting it into an ordinary town road, and the bypass may eventually become as congested as the local streets it was intended to avoid. Many businesses are often built there for ease of access, while homes are often avoided for noise and pollution reasons. Bypass routes are often on new land where no road originally existed. This creates a conflict between those who support a bypass to reduce congestion in a b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Super Two
A two-lane expressway or two-lane freeway is an expressway or freeway with only one lane in each direction, and usually no median barrier. It may be built that way because of constraints, or may be intended for expansion once traffic volumes rise. The term "super two" is often used by roadgeeks for this type of road, but traffic engineers use that term for a high-quality surface road. Most of these roads are not tolled. A somewhat related concept is a "four-lane undivided freeway". This is much rarer; a current example is U.S. Route 101 in California through Humboldt Redwoods State Park. In Europe, the concept of ''express road'' encompasses roads which are classified between a motorway and an ordinary road. It does not necessarily have two lanes. This concept is recognized both by European Union law and under the UNECE treaty. This type of road is not very standardized, and its geometry may vary from country to country or within a same country. These roads are usually, but ...

Greystones
Greystones () is a coastal town and seaside resort in County Wicklow, Ireland. It lies on Ireland's east coast, south of Bray and south of Dublin city centre and has a population of 22,009, according to the 2022 census. The town is bordered by the Irish Sea to the east, Bray Head to the north and the Wicklow Mountains to the west. It is the second largest town in County Wicklow (after Bray). The town was named after a half-mile or one-kilometre stretch of grey stones between two beaches on the seafront. The harbour area and Greystones railway station are at the northern and southern ends respectively. The North Beach, which begins at the harbour, is a stony beach, and some of its length is overlooked by the southern cliffs of Bray Head, which are subject to erosion. The South Beach is a broad sandy beach about one kilometre long. It is a Blue Flag beach and receives many visitors and tourists, mainly in the summer. In 2008, Greystones was named as the world's "most liv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
R774 Road (Ireland)
The R774 road is a Regional road (Ireland), regional road in County Wicklow, Republic of Ireland, Ireland, which has been named the Farenkelly Road. It is a dual-carriageway that connects the town of Greystones with the N11 road (Ireland), N11 national primary road at J11. The road crosses the R761 road, R761 at a roundabout near Eden Gate and terminates at the R762 road, R762 north of Charlesland, Greystones. It was completed in 2004 but not connected to the N11 until June 2006, via a temporary "left-in, left-out" junction. The construction of a full grade interchange between the R774 and N11 was delayed when an illegal dump was unearthed at the original location for the junction. Construction of the permanent fully grade-separated junction (J11 on the N11) started in October 2006 and was completed in 2008. A distinctive feature of this road is the pink central barrier (see thumbnail); it may be the only coloured barrier in Ireland. See also *Roads in Ireland *Nationa ...

R710 Road (Ireland)
The R710 road is a regional road in Ireland. Located in the south of Ireland at Waterford, it forms the ''Outer Ring Road'' around the south of the city. As of December 2006 it commences on the Old Kilmeaden Road at Knockhouse Lower, west of Waterford City and ends at a junction with the R683 on the ''Dunmore Road'' in the south-east of the city. The R709 forms the ''Inner Ring Road'' around the south of the inner city. Background Waterford City Council initiated work on the outer ring road in 1993. Phase one of the outer ring road, between the ''Dunmore Road'' and the ''Williamstown Road'', opened in Autumn 1998, at a cost of about £1M. The council planned a phase 2, which would link the Williamstown and Airport roads, at a cost of £1.2M, however this phase was never carried out. Instead it was announced in 2000 that the department of Finance would fund the remainder of the road, between the Williamstown and Cork roads, though ultimately it was completed under the auspice ...

R136 Road (Ireland)
The R136 road is a regional road in Ireland, located in the southwest of Dublin. Named the ''Outer Ring Road'', the route, which is dual carriageway, runs from the N4 at Lucan to the N81 at Tallaght, bypassing west of Clondalkin (around Grange Castle) and crossing the N7 near Citywest. It was built as part of the planning for the new town of Adamstown.

Road Signs In Ireland
Road signs in Ireland do not differ greatly from those used elsewhere in Europe – with the notable exception that hazard or warning signs follow the ' MUTCD' style of a yellow diamond shape. The symbols used on these warning signs do, nevertheless, resemble much more closely those used (on red-bordered white or yellow triangles) in the rest of Europe than many of those seen in the United States. Regulatory signs differ very little from those used in the rest of Europe, the main exception being that red-bordered white signs indicate a restriction as opposed to a prohibition, which is instead indicated with an additional red diagonal line across the sign. The system of directional signs is based upon, and is very similar to, that employed in the United Kingdom, but is bilingual everywhere except in the Gaeltacht, where only the Irish language is used on signs. Legal basis Only regulatory signs and certain road markings are prescribed in law under the ''Road Traffic (Signs) ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
