Dun Laoghaire Traffic & Commuting Chat

Fratton Fred · 2013-09-13 08:10:23

To avoid derailing other SCD threads, I thought I'd add a Dun Laoghaire thread. My main query, is does anyone know what is going on outside the train station? It looks like they are putting a crossing in twenty metres from the crossroads. Surely not?

All fair and valid points. I suppose some of the main alterations to junctions certainly at Bakers are the removal of slip roads. As far as I understand this seems to be national policy. Slips roads are percieved as dangerous (rightly or wrongly) for pedestrians as cars dont really have to slow down much to swing left. Forcing them to go to the junction to make a "hard" left will certainly slow things down but far safer for pedestrians. The junction at Honey Park/Glenageary road looks to be designed in the same way.
