Newtownabbey boundary sign, Greencastle
The Belfast/Newtownabbey council boundary sign (background in
Image) beside the M2 inward flyover on the Shore Road. My understanding of the proposed new boundaries, due in 2015, is that this one is unchanged, here, but Newtownabbey will become part of a bigger Antrim and Newtownabbey district.

Road markings, Greencastle, Belfast (September 2014)
The buildings of the M2 (north approach road) back in the 1960’s http://www.wesleyjohnston.com/roads/m2.html necessitated the introduction of a one-way system on part of the Shore Road from just north of Gray’s Lane http://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/11933 to just south of Mount Street. The two lanes on the left are for outward traffic heading towards Whiteabbey and Rathcoole. Second right is the lane for inward traffic via the M2. The lane on the right is for inward traffic along the Shore Road. The inward lanes of the M2 are almost overhead.
