Safe cycle routes don't just consist of segregated cycle lanes. In Limerick we could use some of the infrastructure that already exists (ie: roads) to quickly build safe cycle routes if Limerick Council and the NTA were genuinely motivated to grow the modal share of cycling in the city.

Parking Protected Cycle Lane in Limerick

A quick ride along a parking protected cycle lane in Limerick. The design is far from perfect but for a brief moment in time you can see that it's safer than cycling outside the parked motor vehicles.

Utrecht's latest cycle parking facility at the central train station. Still under construction but this is a quick spin around one of the levels.
Is this Dutch style roundabout in Castletroy safe?
Просмотров 8085 лет назад
Most cycle advocates point to the typical Dutch style roundabout that gives priority to cycle traffic over motor traffic as the ideal roundabout design but is it? David Hembrow has written about and criticised this layout for years in his excellent blog 'A View From The Cycling Path'. I took my camera to one of Limerick's 'Dutch' style roundabouts (we have 2 but their overall layout and structu...
Well i know you've vanished from youtube but its nice to know that Limerick has gotten much better with ists cycling Infrastructure since this video, and while we still have a ways to go, we're making big progress
how to get chased by a knacker who either has a knife or is throwing rocks at u
Great stuff 👍, I think the gates are there to leave access for maintenance vehicles
Did you count the number of stop signs you went through without stopping
I don't like those gates either! Great video
Do you think the surface will stay smooth over the years? I find that most cycling lanes around the country get very bumpy quick. No proper underlayer.
Trying their best to make it as inconvenient as possible. Well done LCCC
Fantastic effort by the council. This will ensure that people will find driving to be most convenient.
Pity they couldn't tunnel under or bridge for each junction for free flowing but would cost a fortune. Nice video.
Great video, very enjoyable.
Do you know where the nearest car park is from that entrance?
Coming from the Rathkeale end, just off the N21. Come down the slip road, straight through the roundabout and it's on your right, at the old station house. From the Newcastle West end, go onto station road. Coming from the Desmond College end, take the second right and straight through the roundabout, it's on the left, at the end of the road. When coming from the Churchtown end, Ballintemple Inn, it's first left, past the start of the Greenway.
@@memisemyself many thanks for this!!!
This is a good video with good captions. Personally I prefer the gates to the bollards. Thanks for a nice upload!
In fairness, the track has been resurfaced for accessability for all groups, and we have already had complaints about people cycling too fast and nearly running into people. It's not for the road cyclists and I think you were going to fast. at the very start of your journey you almost ran into that small child.
He wasn’t, the child wasn’t watching. Your one of those who finds an incident on the Internet and exaggerates it to no end.
Leo, Thanks for such a rollercoaster spin and your subtitles are excellent. Liam O Mahony
Thanks Liam and thank you for all the work you have done to make this a reality over the years.
You forgot to do the other side Leo, they've widened the cycle lane but I dont believe its finished, but then again even the local cllrs werent privy to the plans so who's to say what stage of the project they are at
Unfortunately I don't think I ever recorded an outbound trip
I'd never think of taking South Circular into town, as less likely to be close passed on the main route with the shared bus /cycle path as far as punches
I always go this route. Much quieter, always take the lane where it's narrow, never have an issue with passing motor traffic.
@@leodillon2393 so why whinge so much about it and contra flow? There is clearly not enough space for a contra flow bicycle lane. Whinge bag
I always wondered if it really existed for bicycles. Thank You.
Full of covid
A great solution to keep cyclist safe. Car drivers need to realise that the road is not only for motor vehicles. Less cars less accidents. Less lives lost
Sorry for very very late reply. The design layout should enforce what is expected of users rather than solely relying of everyone to know the rules. Dutch roundabout design works but while this one may look Dutch, the basic layout is wrong and puts cyclists at risk.
