Dublin 2. Yesterday.

I know you normally don’t do this, but Dublin City Council seem to have misplaced the cycle lane on South Richmond Street. It was there on Monday.
Previously, at the same location…
Everything. As It Happens.
It’s right there.
Just beyond those arrows.
Yeah, I also see cycle lanes in both pictures.
We might have a different understanding of what ‘missed place’ means, though.
Hey, are you that guy with the helmetcam….. picking a fight for no reason!
certainly has an helmet cam in any case
He only picks on girls and the elderly
possibly changes related to re-routing of buses?
It’s the two rogue arrows I like. Curvy but not too curvy.
I’m with Murtles!
Janet, I ate my avatar likes a meaty curve also
Ban bicycles & then there will be no need for such lanes.
Careful now… it’s much more likely that cars will be banned. In the long run it certainly is, as well as more healthy and cost effective for the running of a modern city. I can’t wait for the day!
Self-driving cars in 20 years will be much safer, so everyone wins.
Ok… maybe 30 years in Ireland. Have to factor in all those committees, reports, white papers, strikes, Joe Duffy sessions, etc before we realize a good idea is a good idea.
That’ll bring with it self-parking areas outside the city. There will be drop-off points near the city centre and the car will go park itself up while the owners toddle off to do their thing. No cars required. Lovely :)
Yeah I can see how buses and cyclists will do well together in one lane.
Dublin City Council, unfit
It’s still a cycle lane…just with added buses..
weird that a cyclist would even pay attention to road markings. they dont seem to abide by any other laws of the road, why would he be bothered by this? he’s just going to cycle where and when he likes anyway.
Bus lanes are also cycle lanes. And may I give a shout-out to Dublin bus drivers, who are (99.9% of them) careful and considerate around cyclists.
Doesn’t matter if they are, in the long run disaster is guaranteed.
It’s a poor mix large vehicles and bicycles.
Agree. Dublin Bus drivers are on the whole very good with cyclists (newer operators could improve)
It’s the taxis in the bus lane though that have the real threatening interactions with bicycles.
A lot of road users need to rethink their attitudes to sharing space with buses. Cyclists, drivers and pedestrians could do well to remind themselves that there’s potentially 60 people on that bus and a slight inconvenience to yourself is minuscule in comparison.
“It’s the taxis in the bus lane though that have the real threatening interactions with bicycles”
And Garda in their private vehicles who shouldn’t be in the bus lanes in the first place.
Is that a picture of the bicycle directly above the word lána?
Bingo!
We can all go home now.
Bring in the 30km speed limit and drivers will get pissed off driving between the canals. Then pedestrians, cyclists and public transport and reclaim the city as it used to be in the olden days when your Dad could leave his bike unlocked at O’Connell bridge and then give yer ma a cross-bar home to her parents house at a reasonable hour.
Is that what they called it back then ?
And ridin’ without a jonnie.
Bare-back.
Looks like they have just realigned the markings. There was a shared cycle/bus lane on the other side of the road now that side has a cycle only lane (albeit with a bin truck parked in it).
The roadway is only so big and cycle only lanes can’t fit on both sides so I’d imagine the change has come about due to research and decision making by DCC.
The usual, follow the big white arrows cause we had no room for the white lines.
