Anyway commuting/driving from Maynooth to Sallins for work?

Going via Clane would be the quickest and shortest option - right ?

Would it take about 3-45 mins do you think?

What is traffic going into and coming out of Sallins like in the mornings and evenings - Is it bad or does it move fairly ok ?

Thanks
 
Have you looked it up on Google maps? Try doing so at your commute times and you'l get a sense of how long it will take with typical traffic.
 
Sallins is a busy traffic spot. Will you be working in Sallins village itself or do you just need to go through, to Millennium Park perhaps? It may be better to go around. Either way you probably should get familiar with the various back roads in and around Sallins and along the canal. Clane can be a busy spot too. You should consider a route through Straffan also.
 
Come in through Clane, use the ringroad, If you are not passing Sallins heading for Naas you will not face real delays, it will take you 25 minutes, you could also route through Straffan, if you do take care, it is not a good road and narrows unexpectedly in places.
 
The only real way to get there is via Clane. After that it all depends where in Sallins you are heading for. Looking at the traffic this morning (I was going in the other direction) I'd say you were looking at 20-25 minutes to get from the outskirts of the village to the roundabout on the Monread road. It's a right bottleneck in the morning due to school buses and people heading to the train station
 
Thanks al replies and information. Would be based near Sallins & Naas train station - not going to Millennuum Park. Would it take long from outskirts of village coming from Clane side to up to train station area?
 
Time of morning you leave and what side of Maynooth?

You could possibly go through Straffan, over the Liffey, take next right and use back roads to come up the canal in middle of Sallins and avoid the backup. Though haven't driven it in a long time.

Could be leaving 7.30 - 8ish - maybe earlier or later some mornings and coming from Celbridge side Maynooth (near the train station in maynooth)

That's what I'd do, especially since you're coming from the Celbridge side of Maynooth. Maybe you'll get parked on the canal and can walk the rest avoiding traffic both ways.
