If one manages to get beyond that roundabout one meets the Westlink. If ever there was an exercise in ideological nonsense it was the decision to make the most critical link on the northern loop of the M50 a toll bridge. No matter how many explanations the operators of that bridge try to produce, the fundamental problem on the M50 between the Red Cow roundabout and Dublin Airport is that there is not sufficient capacity to handle the number of people who are required to slow down and pay tolls. However, they do not stop at the ideological nonsense of forcing people to pay for something that should have been provided by the taxpayer. They add to it by not telling people until they are at the tolls how much they have to pay.
