C-H. that type of "1+2" lane road system with the wire centre barrier is also being introduced in ireland. the plan is to have it on all major roads that don't warrent being widened to motorway / dual carriageway.

Paul: the logic of the yellow lines on the edge of roads is that in poor visibility you clearly identify the edge of the road as the outer edge and not another lane.

Also, on the exit numbering system. cork and dublin city councils have gone completely mad and numbered half the city's street junctions creating orbital routes with the most confusing signs i've ever seen anywhere.

these are the new simplified signs. the first version was so confusing they were banned by the department of transport!

note: they even put An Lar (city centre in Gaelic) which is as widely spoken in Dublin as it is in Paris and New york.

Hundreds of these had to be removed and replaced! Cost a considerable amount of money and time.

people assumed they were secret codes put up to help UFOs find their way around town!
