Newlands Cross Layout

So there's been a lot about the new layout on the N7 over the weekend and this morning.

What has happened is that the road now splits in two just after the Green Isle Hotel.

For access to the Fonthill Rd, Luas & M50 Northbound, you need to stay left.

Belgard Rd & M50 Southbound stay right.

For City Centre you can use both. However you are better off staying left as there are two lanes on the left and only one on the right for the city.

The bus lane has been suspended, so people can use the bus lane. However the road markings are still in place which causing some confusion. These markings will be removed tonight. 

The extra issue is that people using the right split are merging into one lane for the M50 South and City centre even through the markings clearly state that the right lane is only for Belgard Rd.

This morning there were delays of about 30 minutes to clear Newlands Cross inbound. Hopefully things will improve tomorrow now that people have came through it once.
