Dangerous pedestrian crossing

    Recently Dublin CC moved the pedestrian crossing from the IFSC to outside Busarus further up, due to Luas works. The big issue here is that they didn't move the actual traffic lights as well for traffic going southbound.

    When the lights turn green for pedestrians and the traffic has backed up on the SB side, they've no way of knowing that they're supposed to stop for the pedestrians and start moving once the way is clear, while pedestrians are still crossing. It's only a matter of time before there is a serious accident here! Yesterday I saw a woman crossing with a buggy on a green light and as soon as she was on the road a car starting driving into her path!

    This is complete and utter incompetence from Dublin CC!

    Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.
