Driving in Newry, and what it means for your tyres
The A1 dual carriageway runs past Newry and becomes the M1 across the border, making it the main road between Belfast and Dublin. A lot of local drivers commute in both directions, so steady high-speed miles make up much of their driving.
The city centre sits in a valley along the Newry Canal and the Clanrye river, with steep streets up the hillsides and a busy one-way system. Shoppers and traffic from both sides of the border keep it busy, especially at weekends.
South and east, the roads climb into the Ring of Gullion and the Mourne Mountains, where lanes are narrow, steep and exposed, and the coast road along Carlingford Lough is beautiful but winding. Northern Ireland has no Low Emission Zone charges, and tyres are checked at the DVA MOT.
