Nice video 😀 you can tell that the older section of M18 wasn't built as motorway, some of those junctions remind me of junction 3 on the M50 in England. Do you know if there are any plans to upgrade the rest of N18 to motorway?
@driving_all_over2 сағат бұрын
@QuantumPulsar Thank you, yeah some of them are very substandard which I think is down to traffic levels as well as much of the motorway section has very low volumes even for a Friday which was when this was filmed. Either way though it’s much better than what the original single carriageway would have been like as it went through the centres of Newmarket, Ennis and Gort. I haven’t seen any plans to upgrade or re-designate the southern non motorway section, I think it would be difficult to do as parts of it has properties right next to the road

Nice mate, very green! You can see why they call it the Emerald Isle lol you'll have to do the E20 at some point! I did wonder that about Limerick. Were you tempted to visit Munster's ground? How many miles was that altogether?
@driving_all_over2 күн бұрын
Cheers mate, the whole thing was about 60 miles altogether I did have a look but everything there was shut that day so took some pics of the ground instead I’ve done some of it with you. It goes past a certain Pennine farm in the middle of the motorway but isn’t signed as they’ve never been signed here

Right, I am ancient enough to remember the opening of The Preston Bypass in the national media. It was never out of the news later as the various problems of poor driving conditions in bad weather and inexperienced and reckless drivers coming to grief at speed. Plenty of horror stories about it, back in the black and white days of monochrome TV. There was even a documentary, which caused controversy for showing some blood stained wreckage. I think the program was called 'The Pity of it All'. All the people who drive on it now should thank the pioneers who learned the lessons of making it safe and remember it cost some lives to make it so. Keep it flowing.

Great video 😀 I'm familiar with the M65 having grown up nearby but I'm still perplexed by what junction 1a is trying to do even without the cancelled southern bypass 🤔 the B6232 may be inadequate for a link between the M65 and A56 but it has some nice views as it goes through the West Pennine Moors-you should definitely make a video of that one! And yes unfortunately that part of the world has some tricky place names to pronounce, Oswaldtwistle isn't even the worst of them!
