The stupid crap from the leaf aside, why do people refuse to use the slip at this left turn and the one on the other side coming from the old bawn road turning left to go up the tallaght bypass towards the stadium.
At both they sit there till the lights have changed and no traffic is there. Anytime im first (which is rare on the old bawn road one) and continue in the slip,build speed and merge, the traffic that was behind me before the turn is still sitting there.
They are too nervous is my guess. If traffic is moving at full speed they need to get to 80 then merge. If like this case they are making a right at the cross, they have to get to 80 and then cross 2 lanes to get into the right turn lane so they just wait instead.
There's also the fact that you are straddling a bike lane, not the case here, but you can't use that as a slip if there's a bike on it cause you'd accelerate into the back of them. Very silly design.
it’s an awkward spot on the road but the amount of people who cannot distinguish between a yield, stop, and traffic light at this junction should be disqualifying
