The M11 Motorway on Friday 22/03 (Bray, Ireland). Standstill !

You have been warned.... As you can see on that picture these "cheeky"guys were using "Emergency lane" which is illegal as well extremely unsafe.. & were stoped by the "law". Emergency lanes / Shoulders have multiple uses, including: * Shoulders - especially paved or hard shoulders, increase road safety. They allow some extra space should a motorist need to take evasive action or need to recover control of their vehicle before a run-off-road collision occurs provide structural support of the roadway...& meant to be used by Emergancy / Motorway Vehicles only... etc etc

The M11 motorway in South Dublin was closed between junctions five and six from early morning until evening, causing "tremendous chaos" according to the AA's Conor Faughnan. The M50 southbound was also closed for a time at Junction 16 in Cherrywood.

The M11 closure "was the most disruptive thing that happened", he said. "It caused tremendous chaos in the morning commute and there were knock-on effects of enormous traffic delays right around the south side of Dublin. I have spent 3 hours sitting in the car & thanks God for the internet & an iphone LOL (...& for sure I had my Nikon with me)
