There's a plan to reduce motor vehicle traffic along the route, and install kerb-segregated cycle lanes along most of it – but moving very, very slowly.
Analysis found that issues clustered in the city centre, around tram tracks, roundabouts, blocked cycle lanes, close passes, left-turns, and heavy vehicles.
“The image for this month’s cover is inspired by the excellent Active Travel Collision Tracker. The Dubliner, with her child in tow, looks on at the colour-coded, hazardous incidents recorded by fellow cyclists around the city.”
We’re looking to spin off this tool for collecting data on cycling safety in the city. Anyone interested in getting involved is invited to a workshop on 18 March.
So far, cyclists have marked 62 collisions with Luas tracks on our Cycle Collision tracker. These accidents are clustered in three areas in the city centre.
On our Cycle Collision Tracker, cyclists have reported accidents and near misses at roundabouts. Last month, a woman was hit by a lorry at one, and died.
Six cyclists have logged accidents on our cycle-collision tracker that mentioned potholes or uneven surfaces, and another cyclist mentioned cobblestones.
