A key element of the Dublin City Centre Transport Plan kicked in on Monday and Olivia Kelly, Irish Times Dublin editor tells In the News that she was out on the streets early to see how it is working
Under the plan, private motorists can no longer drive the length of the quays – both north and south – instead they must turn off at O’Connell Street and take a detour before returning to the quays.
The idea is to stop motorists using the city centre as a drive through, with the knock-on effect of reducing car traffic in the city centre.
That should free up space for public vehicles – particularly buses – and we hear from a Dublin Bus driver on how it is working.
