New bus gates on Bachelors Walk and Aston Quay

I raised this Fleet Street scenario, based on that woman who was on the Claire Byrne show yesterday. According to her, traffic coming up Burgh Quay but wanting to head towards Heuston must turn into D’olier, onto Westmorland left onto Fleet & turn right back to the quays.
I’m not from Dublin so didn’t know if trucks can traverse the Fleet St section.
The vehicles can of course turn right up O’Connell St. but the North Quays traffic will also be turning up past the GPO.

Or what will likely happen is that anyone doing that route will go around near Stephens Green and back out around Christchurch.

Not everyone who drove down the quays is going to take the same alternative routes to wherever they're going.

And there'll still be far more people using public transport to get to around Heuston and it should be a lot quicker for them.

There will be traffic coming from Amiens Street ( yes I know it’s the cross city traffic they are trying to stop ), but also the traffic coming from Pearse Street & Tara Street.
In any case we only have to wait a month to see what pans out.

There's other changes too. You have to look at bus corridors and College Green going traffic free in the future.

Other than banning car traffic completely, then that's what we have to work with.

You're not creating any extra traffic. The same traffic exists. Do you not think it impacts the Luas and Buses at Westmoreland St and O'Connell Bridge already? Or on Pearse St itself?

You're also assuming that all the traffic will follow the same routes instead of dispersing.

And if they're going to Heuston before or after 7, there's no change at all!

It'll be fun in a month when this actually happens.

Thanks for that. Obviously this woman hasn’t done her homework so. Unless they are lifting the ‘access only’ but only time will tell. Regarding the trucks, I only used the Guinness-port trucks as an example. I agree about the trucks through Temple Bar ( I used to drive trucks myself ) so it looks like those trucks will have to incur extra expense and green emissions using the tunnel/M50/N4 as an alternative, which is defeating the aim of the restrictions on the Quays

You do know that we have a 5 axle ban in Dublin right? We don't want artics in the city period.
