Speed Limit

Meh…

Twice I've seen people use the speed bumps as pedestrian crossings - one was a primary school teacher leading a group of kids.

'Let's be careful out there'

Good luck in Blaah Land

Up Cork for the hurling.

"Meh"

Yep that pretty much sums up most people's attitudes to road safety, including your own.

No, there's no 'Meh' for actual Road Safety.

If the speed bumps were designed and painted properly then there would be no 'Meh'

If pedestrians could easily see the difference between a speed bump painting and a pedestrial crossing painting then again there would be no 'Meh'

If cars were not allowed to park on double yellow lines next to actual pedestrian crossings then again there would be no 'Meh'.

The problem here is that Road Safety begins with you and with those in authority but they only see one thing and that is the BS of 'Speed Kills'.

Everything should be designed for road safety, the actual road surface, how it handles water to decrease the possiblity of aquaplaning and the constant negative cambers that are on the roads.

Stupidity of placement of speed limit signs - like the 100Kph sign that was put before the bend in the Youghal Bridge before some understanding individual removed it.

Cleaning of road signs - in Waterford they do it but in Cork they dont.

And so on - I've driven roads in Ireland and in many other countries and still find that the lack of education of road users (that is ALL users) is very low here.

Guards have a duty to show example but decide not to - even this morning a Garda car blocking a narrow road here in Cork - I was trying to reverse - Guard came out and drove off - turned left - no indicator - avoided a speed bump by going up on a footpath - no good example being shown to other road users.

The Golden Egg of stealing money from hard pressed motorists will only continue now with a senseless reduction in speed limits.

Above is what passes for a pedestrian crossing in Cork - including cars parked and what you can't see - vans parked on left

And this is supposed to be a 'speed bump' yet it looks like a pedestrian crossing.

Here is a 2 way street - yes a two way street

And here is more 'road safety' with the minor single lane road on the left being given priority.

Boooourns

Must have lost the hurling.

This is a two way street its more the wide enough, the issue is people storing private property on the road.
