September 1, 2006 No Comments

Simon has been doing some research on Share Road markings.

Attached below are 3 comprehensive documents about the practice.

To accompany the reading material I would like to suggest the following questions (anyone else can add their own queries and comments to the pot as we proceed):

Galway’s “Cycle Paths”

March 29, 2006 No Comments

The Real Function of Galway’s "Cycle Paths" ?

"Cycle lane" blocked by road signs, near Glenburren Park

Galway’s "cycle paths" are apparently ideal when it comes to finding somewhere to put any inconvenient road signs. (This includes signs of the permanent variety as well as well as bus stops.)

The "cycle paths" don’t just save motorist convenience as a
place to store signs.

They are also used for routing pipes and services. This ensures that
the actual disruption due to road works is also predominantly targeted
at people on bicycles rather than at motorists.
