(1/2) Works commencing this morning to widen the footpath at college green between Trinity College and Church Lane (outside Abercombie & Fitch) to create additional space for queueing at the bus stops at this location while leaving the footpath clear for thru pedestrians.
We are starting roll out of contactless pedestrian buttons on traffic lights. Roll out begins in the city centre & moves outwards throughout the DCC area. Contactless buttons will be denoted by this sticker. The facilities for visual & audible impaired users remain as before.
As part of the Interim Liffey Cycle Route scheme, a cycle lane has been introduced on the right hand side of the North Quays. At junction;
1). Cyclists now get an advanced green light at junctions.
2). Car drivers turning right need to give way to cyclists going straight.
