    Its a junction I use alot but it took the wife to point out to me that when going onto the Merrion road to Booterstown from the strand road, the yield sign has been replaced by a Stop sign. Its very odd as its not a turn , more like 2 lanes converging.
    So if some speedy is looking to hit his quota, it will be like shooting fish in a barrel. I dont know what anyone thinks about it, never seen any accidents there before and you kinda know not to be stupid there.

    Good idea, because traffic wasn't slow enough there.

    Needed to be done, that junction is stupid and dangerous, people just pull straight out across the bus lane all the time.
    The bus lane should be curtailed there to give a proper merging lane and reinstated further down by the garage

    it might just take getting used to, I've used the junction that much that my head automatically crains to watch for traffic so I'd have been oblivious to the new signage. If everyone obeys it though it could back up the traffic even more on the strand road. or more gates coming down on cars.

    Don't see why the bus lane should be curtailed, people should just obey the new stop sign, the yellow box and the bus lane itself, a bit of enforcement from the Garda wouldn't go astray now and again.
