Double standards in sustainable transport, a thread.

30kph Speed Limit: The consultation shows that 56% were against its introduction. We have to respect democracy.

Strand Road: This wasn't a proper consultation and the 66% in favour of it were just "The Cycling Lobby" anyway.
The Phoenix Park: We have to listen to the people who want to drive through the park from the suburbs. The park is for EVERYONE.

Strand Road: The people who want to cycle through here in safety are trying to DICTATE the outcome of this consultation.
30kph Speed Limit: This might slow down public transport! We can't allow it.

Bus Connects: Faster bus routes? This is a COMMUNITY, not a bus corridor!
Skeptics: But where will the traffic go?

Officials: Based on all previous experience, it will evaporate.

Skeptics: We want proof of that!

Officials: How about a trial?

Skeptics: No, not without consultation first.
Are we just presenting this in a way that suits our agenda? Maybe.

Are we just bitter about more sustainable transport solutions being obstructed? Most definitely.

Are we being a bit paranoid? Perhaps, but then again...

(Sound on)

The Gardaí are currently clamping down on misbehaviour by all road users, including cyclists, so please inform yourself about the specific offences for which cyclists can be fined.
The full list of fixed charge offences for cyclists is outlined below. (Thread)
Lights: You need to have a working front light (white) and back light (red) during lighting-up hours, i.e. at night.
- You do not legally need lights on your bike during the daytime.
- "Hi-vis" clothing is not a legal requirement, day or night.
Lights, continued:
Having no front or back lights is a single offence. Beware of anyone attempting to charge you with two separate offences, i.e. One penalty for no front light, and a separate additional penalty for no back light.
