This was the traffic situation on the Upper Malone Road this morning at about 8.20am 24 October 2023. Tailback of traffic in front and behind, in, what is now the norm, certainly Tuesday to Thursday mornings around this time (monday & friday traffic slightly better).

To imagine another 50 odd cars joining the rest of the traffic would add to the already significant traffic issues through the village. Even 30 cars would be significant. The photos were taken as I crawled over Drum bridge.

It took just over 30 minutes to get from the church to Dunmurry lane.  😡
