Don't park on the footpath or you'll push vulnerable pedestrians into traffic. Disgraceful to see this behaviour. It's rush hour and everyone should get home safely. Saw this from the bus just now and I'm furious. @GardaTraffic @DubCityCouncil
Of course we signed up to be part of this coalition of campaigners for road safety, issuing a statement of no-confidence in @RSAIreland. Good to see @irishexaminer @ciananbrennan and Neil Michael covering it. Get your submission in to the review by tonight! Link in thread...
Some fantastic free cycling programmes for children! #gorey #wexford #riverchapel #cycling @WexBug @CyclingIreland
🦺🦺Framing road (un)safety education as something that children bear the burden of responsibility fails to adequately address the behaviours & environments that make children vulnerable in the first place.🦺🦺

Fantastic to see these post bikes being rolled out in Gorey 😍 They are electric assist so our lovely post men and women should have no problem with the hills 😊 @WexBug
Road Safety Authority "no longer fit for purpose" says 27 groups focused on road safety irishcycle.com/2024/04/02/roa…
“Cycling to and from work is fabulous, I look forward to it. It’s changed my life completely” Across all 5 Irish Metropolitan Areas, residents gave similar answers as to what would help them walk or wheel more within The Walking and Cycling Index. @Dept_Transport #activetravel
Very positive report out today!

“My daily commute to work involves a 3km journey across #Wexford town and it remains the same as it ever was; lots of narrow roads shared with often hurried traffic, unfriendly junctions and negotiating half footpath/half road parked cars,”

This is also a significant problem in Gorey with a massive impact on pedestrians, especially wheelchair users, people with reduced mobility, those with sight loss, and parents with pushchairs. We need much stronger enforcement @GardaTraffic

@GPCAssociation Yep I saw this video on Gorey local forum. Someone mentioned it was confirmation morning which isn't an excuse either. They are all to dam lazy to walk further
@GPCAssociation It’s a long time since I was there but I have parked there in the past (and paid). But yes, no excuse for any of these drivers.
@GPCAssociation That’s atrocious, literally beside a car park, these folk are probably too tight to pay. Also, that tinted Dublin reg car should probably be scrapped.
@GPCAssociation That is very hard to stomach. Sorry for Yvonne's needless struggle with cars such as these .
@GardaTraffic @RSAIreland - make as many clever awareness clips as you like … do as much urging and pleading as you can.. But this is Ireland 🇮🇪 - practically every town and village - ….and it’s on your 🫵 watch‼️
🧵1/3 Our member Yvonne has sight loss and this is what she has to deal with near her home. Forced to walk in traffic, through water filled potholes, and onto muddy grass verges. Yvonne says that if people could spend even a few minutes in her shoes, they would not park like this
Please stop this thoughtless & selfish behaviour, this includes people obstructing footpaths & disability access points with bikes & scooters. Illegal parking is common place on every street, especially in residential areas. We need enforcement proper enforcement @GardaTraffic

@GPCAssociation @GreenSchoolsIre @GardaTraffic @wexfordcoco Speed radar signs are of little help. There’s one just down the road in Wexford from where I live just before the Gaelscoil. It’s in a 50km/hr zone. I regularly se speeds of 60/70/80kms/hr flash up on it. These need have speeds recorded for data collection to back up the claims
Hill Street, #Wexford Town. You’d have to wonder about people’s entitlement. For context, this is a main road, very steep and this is the only footpath on this side of road. This guy wants to park in his sitting room though so I guess fuck you if you want to walk on the path.
Safety tip 👇
Proud day 😊
@GPCAssociation 30km/h speed limits throughout the town, for a start
#LightUpYourBike Much better than giving out fines, volunteers from the Galway Cycling Campaign have been giving out lights to cyclers who need them. Many thanks to @galwayactive and @GalwayCityCo for providing the quality lights🙌 Next some quality infra please🤪
@Love30ie “…a trade-off between safety and mobility”. He means an “acceptable” number of ppl injured or dead on our roads. Which of his friends or family will he nominate as fair game in this “trade-off” to save some impatient driver a few seconds?
@GPCAssociation It was great having you there and looking forward to more chats and collaboration in the future.
@GPCAssociation @cyclistie It was great to meet you!!
@GPCAssociation Thank you for sharing the video of our advocate, and this very concerning issue that she must face
