What should you do?
Use it to confirm your route and distance; no special action is needed.
How to recognise it
A blue sign with M8 and a green E-201 plate, and distances to Cork, Clonmel and Cahir; Clonmel is in brackets.
Common confusion
The E-201 is a European route number, not a different road; brackets show a destination reached via another road.
