RSA have made 0 submission on active travel safety schemes. They have no expertise on what makes a road safe. They spend time talking to kids about road safety instead of councillors. They should be asking them why they feel it's unsafe to walk and cycle to school.

I flagged this a possibility when it wasn't included in the NDP last month. The line exists and is in good condition. Reopening it would have connected Limerick, Tipperary, Waterford, Cork and Galway with Wexford/Rosslare. It would have been great for regional development.

Never forget, car dependency isnāt freedom. Some might ask āwhatās more free than cars?ā Choices. Choices are more free than car dependency. Itās not a hard concept. Iām not pitting cars against any other single mode of transport. Iām rejecting design that creates dependency on just one mode.

Is there anything to be said for another blessing of the roads? For safer roads, Road Safety Authority needs to beĀ disbanded
Comment & Analysis: To be clear: The Road Safety Authority isn't seeking divine protection of our roads. But the approach it takes of pleading with drivers to obey the law, its apparent inability to accept modern road safety research, and its focus on ineffective solutions are issues that too many people still overlook. But, worse of all, are the glaring errors it keeps making in its reports and other output, which make me feel it's just a few steps removed from county councillors who want roads blessed as if that's going to have any impact on collisions.

A very typical Dutch one-stage crossing. In the UK cyclists often get two or more crossing stages at busy roads. If drivers arenāt expected to stop halfway, why should bikes or pedestrians? Two-stage crossings exist to keep cars moving, not people safe.

Shovel-ready Luas and Dart projects delayed āto free up funding for moreĀ roadsā
The Government is delaying shovel-ready public transport projects such as Dart+ South West and Luas Finglas in order "to free up funding for more roads", the Green Party's transport spokesperson, Cllr Feljin Jose, has claimed. He said that this is a "disaster" that large new areas of housing in Dublin -- including a development of nearly 900 homes approved in Adamstown today and the major housing project at Poolbeg -- were being left without the promised transport links, forcing more people into cars on the capital's congested roads.
