LAST UPDATE | 9 Sep 2024
DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL is rolling out new tweaks to the capital’s traffic lights aiming to deliver a message to drivers regarding when to give cyclists priority.
Traffic lights in the city will now have flashing amber arrows to remind left-turning vehicles they must allow cyclists to take a turn first.
The council’s aim is for motorists to remember that cyclists “have priority over turning vehicles when travelling straight through any junction” in Dublin.
Making the announcement on social media today, the local authority said it will help result “in a safer, more pleasant experience for all road users”.
Dublin City Council is pleased to roll out Flashing Amber Arrows for left-turning vehicles on our Active Travel Network. How does it work? Cyclists have priority over turning vehicles when travelling straight through any junction.

The lights remind drivers that before making a turn, they must yield to approaching cyclists, allowing them time to clear the junction.
After the cyclist has cleared the junction, the driver is then able to make their turn.
The chairperson of the Dublin Cycling Campaign Úna Morrison said the group welcomed this initiative from DCC which she added “should aid to remind motorists of existing priority rules” at junctions.
“Anything that makes travelling by cycle safer for cyclists is welcome. However, the onus remains on motorists to respect and comply with these rules,” Morrison told The Journal this evening.

What is up with you journal. You have an extreme fascination with property, smart phones and Pat Kenny!!! And before anyone points it out I know the journal and daft are one of the same.
There is nothing “fairytale” like about an 18th century plantation.
Ah yes, “guesthouses”!!
And the “hunting lodge”!!
“mysterious garden in the back”….. You mean the remains of the former slave quarters??? Speaking of slavery, that place is so old it probably comes with its own slave mass grave….
Being a former plantation I doubt life was a fairytale for most of the people who lived there
I wonder how many KKK rally’s were held on its land.
So many I’d say to this day there’s hardly a pillow case left in the place without eye holes cut in them.
The person who won the €160. million on Friday could buy that from the change in their back pocket!
Yeah and better value then the “high end of Ireland”
A fairytale except for the slaves! The many many slaves!
I’d prefer a pool table in my game room.
Me likey
Oooh, do any slaves come with the plantation?
Are those genuine Audubon prints (the turkey is clearly visible) in the main house? Elephant folio, very rare, sought after collectors items.
Jump down turn around pick a bail of cotton, Jump down turn around pick a bail of hay …..
