Richmond Road Dublin - Liveable Streets

The Road Safety Authority is not fit for purpose: Exhibit #3,298

Cycling without a helmet and high-vis clothing may be made criminal offences in Ireland — Law areound cyclists being reviewed with e-scooter proposals for helmets and high-vis. Seán Canney, the Minister of State for road safety, is considering making it illegal to cycle without …

Having rowed back on lowering speed limits and reforming the Road Safety Authority, Minister Canney is now doubling down on the RSA's failed policies by scapegoating the most vulnerable on the road instead of following evidence-based measures to make our roads safer.

Dublin City Council’s cycling and walking funds have been cut, and it may put years of work at risk The Green Party says the cut puts planned projects at risk.

Very disturbing to see the cuts in active transport infrastructure investments.

We're so far behind other European countries.

This will have real negative consequences for public health.

Primary school children hold protest against dangerous driving in north Dublin

Students have observed hazardous driving behaviour at the at the Collins Avenue East/Malahide Road junction, including frequently breaking red lights, as well as stopping on and blocking pedestrian crossings

So a judge says "Cyclists have become a nightmare in Dublin?"

Actually cycling is much more of a nightmare rather than cyclists. We need to focus on making walking and cycling safer on our streets.

"For years, people walking and cycling have accounted for about 40% of all road deaths and serious injuries. Those who pose the least danger are paying the highest price for a broken system, a fact Judge O’Donohoe seems to have overlooked." - Ciaran Cannon 👏

It seems like only yesterday that the Taoiseach told us he would do "everything possible" to stop the killing on our roads. 🤷‍♂️

Well, that answers my question 🤦‍♂️ They've undone pretty much all the road safety measures started by the last government now.

📢This protest is brought to you by council delays & car fumes.
We're into #Week20 of rolling community protests this Wed.

Here's pics from the last few weeks!

As part of the CHA, we recently launched our report “Active Travel: The Magic Pill.”

It shows that embedding active travel into daily life brings major health and environmental benefits for everyone.

And yet, @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social continues to build active-travel 'infrastructure' like this.

Annual day of remembrance held for road crash victims A number of events took place across Ireland to mark the UN's World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims.

Today is World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. Everyone has been affected, or knows someone who has been effected, by accidents on our roads. Sadly, the number of deaths on Irish roads has been rising for the past number of years.

For good measure, #Week14 of #community action.

It’s about #safety, #health, #wellbeing. Having a space to #thrive in community, not #survive together in adversity.

Lewy body dementia promotion by air pollutants Evidence links air pollution to dementia, yet its role in Lewy body dementia (LBD) remains unclear. In this work, we showed in a cohort of 56.5 million individuals across the United States that fine p...

Yet another study linking air pollution to adverse health outcomes.

There is no safe level of air pollution.

#Week12 of our weekly community action calling for a trial of #filteredpermeability (barrier-based solution) for a safer #RichmondRoad!

Sustainable mobility? We can’t even cross the street safely.

Great initiative. Not just cities either Roads in the countryside are narrow. Every morning on my way to my daughter’s nursery, Im forced to stop or veer into ditches by SUVs that are pristine & seemingly incapable of going slightly off road. It’s hair raising seeing them charge unwaveringly at you.

Local authorities to implement 30km/h speed limits in urban areas ‘where appropriate’ from 2027 Speed limits on roads in built-up and urban areas can only be changed where a majority of the elected members in a local authority vote to do so.

This delay and the dilution of language to “where appropriate” are not harmless compromises. They will cost lives.

Also a #joyful vision of what our street could be
🕊️ bird song not hooting
👧 children playing not motorist road rage
🧁neighbours sharing food not getting abused

And all the health & wellbeing benefits that layer on top!

Thank you to everyone who lent their support last week - you are much appreciated 🙌

The @gardai.bsky.social were fantastic. Lots of coverage that we hope raises awareness of our daily lived experiences (& action - @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social 🤔).
