Limerick Bike Scheme

This question may have been addressed before so apologies.

I cycle across the Shannon bridge using the cycle lane oftentimes. Coming from the City Centre what is the correct way to get onto the bridge cycle lane. I cycle along the riverbank which is pleasant and it seems I should dismount and walk to the start of the cycle lane or cycle around the roundabout and then use the pedestrian crossing to get to the cycle lane.

The cycle lane then ends at the traffic lights near Salesians. I am not sure if I have the right of way to cycle straight onto the road there and turn right or do as most people do which is to cycle onto the pavement and then try to cut across the cars waiting at the lights to get into the lane leading towards the North circular.

It seems the design and installation were not given a lot of thought as it may not have been planned as a permanent feature.

It was very much a temporary offering put in place during the lock-downs which remained after. There is a plan for a separate pedestrian/cycle bridge from Bishops Quay to O'Callaghan Strand but that is still on the drawing board.
