"We advise festival-goers to leave plenty of time to travel to Stradbally this weekend – if you’re heading down on Friday then leave early in the day if you can. "Extra traffic can be expected around Portlaoise, and on the N80 through Stradbally throughout the weekend. As you near the festival site, carparks will be clearly signposted, so follow signage rather than your sat nav."It has also been advised to follow @aaroadwatch on Twitter or keep an eye on this website. If you're driving up or getting a bus, make sure to note these routes:
"Motorists travelling through Kildare on the M7 should bear in mind that three lanes are now open on the motorway between J8 Johnstown and J11 M9; however, the speed limit is still at 80km on that stretch. If coming from the south-east, works on the N80 near the Carlow/Wexford county bounds at Bunclody may slow you down."Meanwhile, the Gardaí said that they will have a traffic plan in place so make sure to stick to it.
"An Garda Síochána have a comprehensive and well- honed traffic plan in place for Electric Picnic. We would ask people to follow the directions of Gardaí and stewards, that they follow signage for event and that they do not use sat nav. "Please leave in plenty of time when travelling to event and read the Garda Traffic Plan. For more information please see Garda Síochána Laois Offaly on Facebook or follow the hashtag, #GardaSíochánaLaoisOffaly."
