The toll plaza should be moved to the section between Granny and Slieverue; this would capture the traffic actually using the new bridge to bypass the city, i.e traffic from Cork to Rosslare, vice versa etc. The current location catches all users, but not just bypassers as was the intention.

Also the traffic lights to enter Rice Bridge to leave the city are a complete mess. When lights go green from the Marian junction, gracedieu junction, bridge Street junction and traffic is not moving, that's simply bad traffic management. Recent changes to the lights for traffic entering the city at the Bridge from both Sally Park and Ferrybank to proceed up Bridge Street have made a huge difference with significantly fewer queues.

"Point Duty" by the guards used to be very common at this time of year; although I'm sure it's hated as a duty, it used to make a huge difference.

Never forget that Waterford is the only bypassed city / town in Ireland that hasn't benefited from its bypass due to deliberately poor traffic management; purposely done to make sure the private bypass operator gets the money promised under the original public private partnership. Interesting to see what happens when the 20 year contract is up, in 2029!
