Dublin’s traffic lights will soon feature flashing amber arrows to remind drivers when to give cyclists priority at junctions.
today, motoring expert Ger Herbert said this priority already exists, but a reminder is necessary as left-turning junctions often “prove fatal” for cyclists.“When you come to a junction as a car, if you’re turning left and there’s a cyclist who’s going straight – you have to stop,” she said.“The priority has been there anyway, but this is just helping people see how it works in operation.”
“I don’t know how long it’s going to take or whether it’s already in place and ready to go ahead, but it looks like it’s going to be widespread throughout the city.”“If you look at some of the comments on Twitter, motorists seem to think this is a new thing that’s being imposed on them,” she said.
