New bus gates on Bachelors Walk and Aston Quay

They don't. And you have nothing to back up your repeated claim. Do better.

You repeatedly made the claim. Prove it?

Pardon my ignorance but who or what is a ‘Karen’?

It's a disaster. O'Connell Street is even busier for buses than the Quays and yet that's where they've sent the cars. Why didn't they stick to the original plan and sent the cars up Jervis Street.

A number of work vans ignoring the ban this morning but overall much quieter and a more pleasant environment for pedestrians and cyclists. I've spoken to colleagues and they haven't noticed any significant improvement to outbound bus journey times but some improvement to inbound. The main benefit seems to be the more pleasant public space around the bridge. It was possible this morning to have a normal conversation without shouting, same yesterday afternoon.

It is only day #4 of this.

People will change but that takes time - months rather than days.

As with any change, it’s apparent that there is a significant cohort of the population who just don’t follow this kind of news story, or who just don’t notice signage and will end up at O’Connell Bridge regardless.

While I agree that the measures are too limited, there are political realities, particularly a general election within the next seven months, that mean that this is going to be a drawn out process unfortunately.

Gardai were pulling cars over the other day, but having a quiet word, rather than fining them. Over time that will, I would hope, change, but at the outset you do want to bring people with you with this sort of thing.

Do people not spell check their posts? Even a little bit!

Strange policing at the revised junctions. Not a Garda in sight, but staffed by what appear to be Dublin City Council employees in high visibility jackets trying to direct cars away.

At O'Connell Bridge, I saw one car skipping into the bus lane from Burgh Quay to Aston Quay, nearly running over one of the Council staff. Bizarre stuff.

Sounds like a totally normal day in Ireland. 😕

Wasn't anpr supposed to be rolled out last year?

The reality is that most people do abide by the changes and that does mean that they make a difference.

Sure, some people ignore the College Green bus gate, and some will ignore these.

But enough people do abide by them to still make a difference.

I can remember the long lines of general traffic from Parnell Square to Grafton Street - that isn’t there anymore - sure there are some cars ignoring the bus gates, but behaviour of the majority has changed.

Probably more to do with the fact that the area around by college green is frequently jammed up with Luas and Busses than relying on the good will as you say of people driving private/commercial vehicles .. Still think cameras are a great idea to free up valuable Garda resources..

Those cameras have strict limits applied to them and what they can record and why… This was on the eFlow site too:
