The motorways not so bad, it's that bollox of a road between Sprucefield and Newry that annoys me.

Is it quicker/ easier to stay on The M1 signposted for Dublin or come off at sprucefield to cut across to Dublin

The M1 doesn't go to Dublin. It ends at the Ballygawley roundabout miles in the wrong direction. There are 2 junctions at Sprucefield and if you don't come off at the first you can at the second but that's as far as the signs for Dublin go.

No difference time wise really. Maybe a minute or 2 faster coming off at Sprucefield.

The road between spruce field and the border south of Newry is the A1, not the M1; because it is a dual carriageway not a motorway.

It is one of the most dangerous roads in Ireland, because of the many intersections; and at Sprucefield and Hillsborough the many rounabouts, especially at the A101, to the Park and Ride.

A lot of people have been killed, unnecessarily, on the A1.

South of Newry, the M1 is first class, but the Port Tunnel can be very busy and is often congested.

The truth is that when a new road is built, it rapidly reaches the limits of its capacity; this is a worldwide phenomenon.

The whole road system around the Spruceield roundabouts, the P&R, new A101 junctions and roundabouts and Hillsborough roundabout is a long-standing mess.

But nowhere near as confusing as the road and Luas systems around the Red Cow roads, roundabouts and junctions!

2 M1s

When the M1 in Northern Ireland was built in the 1950s, those in power wanted to use it to link the various areas of the state together, which is why the M1 headed west at Lisburn.

There are therefore two separate M1s in Ireland, that are joined together by the A1 and also the A101 at Spruceield.

The two states had no real intention, at that time, of cooperating!

To this day, the two states measure and display road distances differently, kilometres in the Republic and Imperial miles in the north.

At one time distances, which can still be seen displayed on old milestones, were measured in another unit of measurement, Irish miles.
