    Dublin had a good network of trams until the 60's, now we have a light-rail system that does not join and only goes in two separate directions!

    We also had a government policy to plough straight roads into the city centre to facilitate car transport, e.g. Clanbrassil st. Dorset st... Where a segregated cycle lane(s) is badly needed for safety reasons alone!

    Getting around Junctions and forks in the road are an exercise in taking your life into your hands, examples: Christchurch junction with Nicholas st and high street, Front of Trinity where left takes you to Nassau st, and right to Dame st. The Quays are a nitemare, vehicles passing you with inches to spare and dozy pedestrians walking out onto the road without looking...

    So I can't see Dublin becoming less car dependent in the near future...

    You need to be assertive on those routes, space yourself well out from the kerb and take the lane at any of the tighter spots where there's cars parked on the left etc.

    And there's Parisians giving out because they weren't asked did they want it, an afront to their democracy!!
