    There was a problem with cars parked all along on St Raephaela's Rd in Sandyford - made it clearway and no parking. Magic.

    Yes but tickets were issued and a lot.

    In town it seems you can get away with quite a lot from clearway in ranelagh to major bus stops such as ranelagh, Dawson st, Eden quay, rathmines, Camden at, Georges st.... So much much more and no tickets or clamps.

    I noticed this in Ranelagh, the clearway is just treated as free parking. Same in Stoneybatter, except in Stoneybatter the road is like the surface of the moon so when you have to go on front of cars you find your bones may have vibrated out of your body by the time you've cleared the parked cars.

    Yeah like in the UK where innocent people are fined for letting ambulances go, by pulling ever so slighty into a bus lanes .
    If you go down this cctv road, eventually you end up at something like Brexit, no thanks . Over policing of minor stuff and harassment of law abiding citizens in the UK has led to a breakdown in society.
    You heard it here guys - Brexit is because of bus lane enforcement.

    Camera enforcement would be profitable I reckon.
    Most people know that traffic fines are a loss-maker. Amount of money it costs to issue the fines is greater than what you get from the fines.

    Quick update. Morons in the right lane are stopping at the last bollard to merge into the (packed) left lane even when there is no traffic stopped to turn right at the bridge, and the right lane is clear on green lights.

    They need a box and not a yellow painted one

    Bollards are gone since the road was resurfaced about 2 weeks ago. Adding 5-10 minutes onto each bus journey.

    Surely not that much?

    Traffic levels, certainly prior to 09:00, haven't been particularly heavy at all.

    They are queuing from Greenmount Avenue at times. So it can be a slow crawl to the bus stop. Particularly lunch time/evening peak I've noticed past 2 weeks.

    To be fair that’s not the same as “each bus journey”. It does helps when you put a context in.

    The main peak flow inbound used to be before 09:00 and that hasn’t returned yet, which is why I questioned your statement.

    Hopefully the wands will be reinstated, as sadly it seems the only way to enforce the bus lane, but it is at the same time also fair to say that bus journey times on most Dublin Bus routes through the city are still faster overall than those from pre-Covid times.

    Oh defintely. It's relaxing enough pottering along at 30km/h. It is just frustrating to see the queues returning once the wands disappeared.

    All resurfacing has been completed. New white lines and bus / cycle white pics completed.
    All the bollards have been reinstalled as they where for last 18 months.

    I think the main issue for bus journeys on the route are the traffic light sequences and the canal. They now have an additional pedestrian phase. I.e. North/South traffic green, pedestrian phase, Canal East/West phase, pedestrian....
