Julianstown

There is somewhere worse than Julianstown

Thought Julianstown was bad for traffic? Well think again. Despite 22000+ vehicles per day in Julianstown, there is actually a town far worse than us. Just saw on the news that Claregalway in Co. Galway has to contend with 35000 vehicles per day and the commensurate 3 mile tail backs. Locals appeared on the news to complain about the reduction in quality of life and the fact that no one wants to visit or do business there.

Sounds familiar!

Also in familiar tones the NRA declares that there are no plans to bypass this traffic hell hole. The Claregalwegians can't understand why minor towns such as Edgeworthstown or Castleblaney can get a bypass for a fraction of the traffic volumes while they suffer.

All sounds familiar.

Also nice to see they have a village website
