Carrickmacross speed limits
Anybody familiar with Carrickmacross and the R178 west of Carrickmacross?
I've been updating the R-road speed limits in Carrickmacross, and a couple of bits are hard to work out from Street View:
1. This roundabout has 50km/h signs on one approach and 60km/h on the others, so it's a big ambiguous. The link roads/ramps to/from the N2 are also unclear.
2. One end of the R180 Ballybay Rd is probably 60km/h and the other is probably 50km/h, but I couldn't find any signs along it.
3. This section of the R178 is a bit wiggly and has a 60km/h limit in the middle, and seemed to have ongoing road works in 2009 (when the SV images were made) - so the 60km/h limit might not apply any more. However, the GPS tracks still match the satellite view of the road, so I'm not sure what - if anything - has changed. Maybe it's been widened, and the 60km/h limit removed - or maybe they were just going to resurface it in 2009.
So for all three of these: do we have any editors living near Carrickmacross, or anybody who passes nearby regularly who could do a little field trip?
thanks!
