It is appallingly lit, marked, signposted and unpoliced. The official speed limit on most stretches is 60 km/h. I was driving at 80 km/h as was every other car and was overtaken by trucks at speeds of at least 90 km/h if not 100 km/h on a road that barely has room for two carriageways. If anybody is unlucky a major disaster will occur on the road. We should either enforce the law or change the roads before we have a major disaster. It is a disaster waiting to happen. I appeal to the Garda to enforce the speed limits and the regulation requiring trucks to drive in the inside lane or else we will have a major road disaster.
