53.9709, -6.7020

weekend not so many cars, standing at the bus stop is nice cause cars aren't as fast yet and there's much space for them to stop. on the N2 here the cars are very fast. could probably go south or north from this spot as there were cars going both ways

54.2533, -6.9490

don't get dropped here (at least not if you're trying to get to Monaghan), this direction is the way people are driving back into town, not the other side of the roundabout is what I gathered

54.5882, -5.9586

everyone was so happy to see me! not that many people going west on the M1 but I got picked up quick enough, there's a shoulder on side of road and while it's past the 'no pedestrians' sign it'll work and people will pull in there for you

Thu 2026-08-13 16:18 · 30 min wait ⭐⭐⭐

53.4659, -6.2150

when I arrived here there was big construction happening and I ended up taking a bus, usually I think this spot should be pretty good for going north though

Thu 2026-08-13 16:16 · 15 min wait · 40 km ⭐⭐

53.6930, -6.3701

not the greatest tbh, little space to pull in and nobody's going direction Dublin, lots of cars generally tho so maybe going north is easy from here I ended up hitching a ride from a taxi driver who was on his way back to Dublin and took me for free (he was saying this is the spot to get to Dublin but I think maybe smaller roads will be better?)

i went to Emo but you could prolly also sign for motorway or Dublin Kildare Naas from here, there's a speedbump so everyone's going v slow, loads of drive ins to pull into, portlaoise seems to love roundabouts as much as me so there's many good spots along this road

52.0788, -8.2806

there's a speedbump here so everyone's suuper slow, loads of space to pull in, decent amount of cars going signed for fermoy and got to portlaois, I don't think that's the average experience here but it's great being at the right spot at the right time

there's a petrol station now, which is nice cuz cars can pull in and I'm assuming they'd have a bathroom and cardboard (tho I didn't check), got a lift to Skibbereen, roundabouts are my favourite

53.2606, -8.9212

in summer the grass and brambles take up lots of space which means not loads of space for you to stand but it'll work

lots of space to pull over on the shoulder, cars are kinda speedy but they see you from far away if you're standing kinda right after the 'cross road', there's a bathroom at gas station across the road and they'd probably also have cardboard and snacks

I don't know if this is a good spot, cars are decently fast, there's space to pull over if you're standing on the grass the first car that drove by picked me up

cars are pretty slow, loads of pullover space, decent amount of traffic, maybe it was just luck but got a ride within a minute and it was lovely
