In the context of the additional safety features recently introduced at the N4/M50 roundabout, that the Manager responsible discuss if he is satisfied that the signage on the N4 as one approaches the M50 intersection from the West is accurate and that traffic gets sufficient and accurate information as to which lane they should enter to assess the M50 North, M50 South and Centre City/Palmerston. The present situation, which I have highlighted previously, is very misleading and often results in vehicles travelling from the West having either to change lanes very late at a danger to themselves and other vehicles and/or continue on to make a U turn at Kennelsfort Road at VERY considerable risk to both themselves and other vehicles coming off Kennelsfort Road upper travelling west.  It has been pointed out that the signage for the Airport/M50 North on the overhead gantry closest to the N4/M50 intersection could be moved to the left so as clearly indicate the correct lane.
