#1 Fail Reason Progress issues on the narrow and often congested Main Street are the primary reason for failure here. Candidates also frequently struggle with hazard awareness when large trucks are maneuvering through the town's tight spaces. Track these zones in the app →

Red Zone: Mid-morning is often the worst time as the N24 through-traffic, including many HGVs, causes significant tailbacks. Friday afternoons are also particularly difficult as people travel between Limerick and Waterford.

Local Hazards

The main street is part of a busy national route with constant heavy goods vehicle traffic. Navigating the narrow side streets for maneuvers requires excellent clearance and observation.

Community Advice

The main road through the town is very busy with through-traffic; maintain a safe following distance. Practice your maneuvers in the local housing estates where the roads can be narrow.

Arrival & Parking Protocol

Tip: This RSA site offers on-site parking for candidates in a dedicated lot. It is a straightforward location to access, though you should be mindful of the transition from the quiet car park to the busy town roads.
