Map showing construction dates of sections of the M1 M1 at junction 4. The old overhead lane control gantries are still visible, which were replaced with newer, verge-mounted MS4 variable message signs in 2008. The M1 was extended south towards London from its original starting point at junction 5, in three stages.
A 120 km/h (75 mph) speed limit applies on most of the M1, the exception being a 100 km/h (62 mph) limit between Junction 1 and Junction 2 at Dublin Airport. The lower speed limit is credited to the much higher volumes of traffic on this stretch. Fingal County Council raised the limit on this section to 100 km/h (62 mph) in June 2022.
Work was also carried out on the A4 which begins at the terminus of the M1 between Dungannon and Ballygawley (approximately 12.5 miles (20.1 km)) was upgraded to dual carriageway standard, [7] opening in November 2010. In 2011 the government announced plans for two service areas in each direction between junction 3 and junction 6 near Ballyskeagh.
A number of other types of junction are also used on the motorway network. The M4/M6 and M7/M9 junctions use a variant of the fork style interchange. The M9/N10 junction in County Kilkenny and N40/N28 junction in County Cork are trumpet-style interchange while the M50/N7 and M50/N4 interchanges use partial cloverleaf junctions.
Looking northwards at Washington Services as the A1(M) approaches Junction 65. A1(M) is the designation given to a series of four separate motorway sections in the UK. Each section is an upgrade to a section of the A1, a major north–south road which connects London, the capital of England, with Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland.
The A43 starts at M40 junction 10 (the location of Cherwell Valley Services) which is widely regarded [by whom?] as being one of the worst motorway junctions in the country despite improvements made in the early 2000s. There are often long tailbacks at the junction, even at off-peak times. [citation needed]

The most infamous was the Red Cow Roundabout junction with the N7, jokingly dubbed the "Mad Cow Roundabout". [1] As well as being the junction of two of the busiest roads in the State, the Luas tram Red Line from Tallaght to the city centre used to cross two slip roads at-grade, before continuing city-bound in the median of the R110 (formerly N7).
