Google maps included this as a cycle route to Connolly Hospital with my son. Across lanes of dual carriageway just as they enter a motorway. There is of course another route for pedestrians and cyclists that passes under all this.
Google Maps is awful
@kevinteljeur mad. We took the pedestrian route instead, under the n3. Loved the canal and river. Stopped in ashtown. Made a morning of it. Saw a driver panicked, on the canal towpath for pedestrians and bikes. They had Google maps open on a giant dashboard television
@ronanmcd Ha, you were minutes away from my place. That’s not the worst route, although I don’t take it either. You did get me thinking about trying it when I’m allowed back on the bike and see how it compares. It’s arguably as safe, but not as pleasant.
@teresamacedo I find a lot of this kind of thing whenever I use Google Maps. It tries too hard to be clever. I have an old Garmin that is much more reliable for long journeys, but only if driving, as that's what it's made for. There's no messing with it, it just takes the most obvious route!
