Dun Laoghaire Traffic & Commuting Chat

These and other road improvements that were sold as providing improvements for cyclists and pedestrians have always ended up benefiting the former and inconveniencing the latter. So many pavements have been narrowed to provide cycle lanes. Pedestrians who had free access to their bus must now cross cycle lanes at their peril.

Wherever I have seen cycle lanes placed between the pavement and the kerb there has been a yield sign painted on the cycle lane to protect the pedestrian either boarding or alighting. I would hope that this will also be the case on Stillorgan Park if pedestrians are to be inconenienced at that location.

You've elevated victimhood to very special degree here. You're now convinced that the existing of cyclist markings on shared spaces or cycle lanes is evidence of some overwhelming movement at Council level (where the Greens are a smallish party) towards deification of cyclists?

Show us on the map where the cyclists hurt you Maisie?

I cycle in this area regularly… I can confidently say that there are no shared paths. there are sections where there is cycle lane only, and other sections where there are seperate bike and pedestrian paths (generally to provide access to crossings or bus stops). If you need to travel between various facilities along this route, you do so via the old bray road. All of the facilities are accessible from there. Theres very little to do on the N11, except travel in a straight line. If you need to get to Deans Grange, travel down the Old Bray Road and turn onto Clonkeen Road. If you are travelling southbound, you can access Deans Grange via Monaloe etc.

Stop walking on the cycle paths, don't be a menace! Theres an 80y/o woman in the area who says she likes walk on the cycle lanes with her dogs on a long lead, and gets upset when cyclists don't even aknowledge her… Is that you?

Lar left, Maisie was kicked out, and the rest of us agree that bike is best.

She was banned after not following mod instructions on another thread it would seem.

Not for the first time either. She has previous!

I was walking up along the new cycle paths on the main road from Stradbrook Road to Deansgrange on Saturday evening. They actually look really nice. A lot of the work is still not finished though. There still has to be some work done at the entrance to Deansgrange Cemetry opposite St Fintan's Villas as well. I was also very impressed with the new separated bike & pedestrian lanes at the traffic lights at Deansgrange Crossroads. They look great.

As a cyclist, that's a nope from me. I'll just use the filter lanes as I always do.

I see someone thought it would be a great idea to put in a pedestrian crossing 50 metres up from the existing set of lights at Deansgrange and not synch the lights in any way.

As if that junction wasn't bad enough (for cars).

I think we'll all agree that there are different cycle facilities for differing cycling abilities. I don't need to dismount and cross at a pedestrian pace, others may prefer to. That's their choice and they are welcome to it. That's the benefit of living in a democracy. 👍️

Set of pedestrian lights going up on Glenageary hill, yards away from the roundabout. Will test hill start abilities.

Plus it's right beside St John of God's - I'd imagine some of their clients will appreciate the pedestrian lights there

It's not really okay to assume that pedestrians can be left without a safe way to cross the road just because a small number of drivers might struggle with the basics.

I assume you're okay with no further construction of underground or multi-story car parks because some of those ramps can also be very steep? And no further motorways because drivers have managed until now?
