Borders fascinate me. Always have.
I spotted a point on the map where a road follows a relatively straight line across a national border between Ireland and the United Kingdom that is anything but straight.
So, of course, I had to go.
Road geek here …
This is the only sign at the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland. No “Welcome to the United Kingdom,” no “Northern Ireland.”
Just … speed limits are different here.
And the return to Ireland is even more understated:
Aside from the road geekery and a few great photos, I also was rewarded with some driving adventures.
The remnants of Hurricane Helene blew through and generated quite a windstorm here this morning. There were several trees of this size down across the road. Fortunately, I was able to make it back to Dublin safely.
Behind the tree is a warning sign for a speed camera. Not particularly relevant today …
