The biggest beneficiary of the changes so far have been the bus passenger, with travel times down by 30 per cent
Traffic on the Quays in Dublin close to O’Connell Bridge, where Dublin City Council have introduced traffic management changes. .Such was the intense scrutiny surrounding the introduction of traffic management measures on Dublin’s Liffey quays last August, which amounted to a rerouting of private vehicles either side of O’Connell Bridge, it may have been forgotten that these were just the first elements of a larger plan for the city centre.
This is evident in the operation of the measures introduced last August around Dublin’s quays . The biggest beneficiary of this has been the bus passenger, with travel times down by 30 per cent, but car drivers who do need to access the city centre also face less competition for road space from those using the Liffey corridor as an east-west passage to elsewhere.
The next measures in the plan, due to come into force by mid-2025, will further ease the traffic burden on the city core. Banning private traffic turning left from Westland Row to Pearse Street seems like a small change but should significantly reduce the number of cars on Pearse Street and consequently on Tara Street and the quays.
The clear benefits of the traffic plan for the city’s bus services should prompt an acceleration in implementing the network redesign. It will speed the journeys of the vast majority of commuters, and helps city residents and businesses. The remaining elements of the plan deserve support and should be implemented as soon as possible.
