There Are Major Delays Building On The M50 Due To ‘Rubberneckers’ At The Site Of An Incident

Some traffic delays are unavoidable – but some aren't.

And that's definitely the case this afternoon, as an otherwise innocuous breakdown on an M50 off-ramp near the Red Cow Roundabout has led to delays stretching all the way back to the previous junction?

And why?

Feckin' rubberneckers, that's why.

Passengers in need of a good gawp at the incident, who slow down and not only bring traffic to a standstill – but also create stupid amounts of risk in the process.

Christ alive.

But it's not all bad news today...

No delays on approach to the beaches at Malahide Rd, Clontarf Rd or Bray at the moment.

Small mercies, eh?

Just wait until they report on the queues at Teddy's, mind...
