    M50 traffic in the mornings

    Have a meeting in Dublin at 9am on Tuesday in the Sandyford area. The Dun Laoghaire exit is the closest to where I need to be.

    What's the traffic like in this area in the mornings? Is there queues on the m50, queues to get off the m50 at this junction or anything like that?

    Coming from Belfast, so if I need to be there for 9am would leaving at 7am be time enough? I reckon I'd be hitting the M1 -> M50 junction about 8sh then, I assume there's no queues getting off the m1 and onto the m50?

    Thanks!

    Can't say what the traffic will be like, but for Sandyford you need the Dundrum exit (13), not Dun Laoghaire.

    Aye, I know for sure that it's exit 14 that's the closest, I'm not sure if it's actually sandyford but it's definitely exit 14 for Dun Laoighaire I take, going past Bewleys hotel etc..

    I join the M50 at that junction, and the traffic on the motorway there is usually heavy enough that you won't be doing the speed limit, but not much slower than that. The traffic around the junction isn't too bad either.
