Cyclists

No place in the world had bicycles until they were invented and maybe the government should bring in a new law that all adult bikes should have to have number plates at a nominal cost of €20 and this money could go to the upkeep of the cycle lanes.

Great idea, and if the money was ring-fenced for upkeep of cycle lanes I don't think even the lycra-loonies could complain.

….. and pedestrians also need to display a number, perhaps wear a lanyard, and pay money for it every year for upkeep of pavements. Same logic.

Oh they'd find something to complain about...they always do. See below:

"Same logic" - what a langer How many pedestrians have wheels installed and pose a danger to other pedestrians if they collide with them?

If an “online portal” is introduced then all vehicles need to have unique identification numbers.
Otherwise it’s a charter for cranks and nut jobs like Angry Crotchcam Man.

We are all pedestrians BR. We already pay taxes. If pedestrians demanded and were given a space in the traffic lanes for their use as well as the footpaths then you'd have the same logic. But pedestrians don't demand to have a set aside area (footpath/like cyclists cyclepath) AND be also permitted to walk the length of traffic lanes and demand motorists give them 1.5m clearance when they overtake because they're more vulnerable road users.

I noticed that yesterday on the Boreenmana Road. It'd be a disgrace if they were able to remove every tree on that road (or any other road) so they could put in bus lanes. Specially as, in a time of global warming, trees play a big part in reducing temperatures in urban areas: https://www.epa.gov/heatislands/using-trees-and-vegetation-reduce-heat-islands

Fuck the NTA indeed.




And Wank.

Why is it a disgrace? Bus lanes make alot of sense and improves service for commuters. Do you know how many trees were removed for the Fermoy/Mitchelstown bypass, or even how many so far have been removed for the new Ringaskiddy route.
Must all road improvements be rerouted because of trees? That makes no cost sense at all.

He’s a fucking coward.

That your excuse as well?

Drucker lives rent-free in his heads.

how is it such a jump in logic to reverse engineer this practice to keep the roads safer for everybody?

Can you tell me a place that has managed to do this?

People have a PPS number, surely we can reverse engineer this to make sure the street is safer for everyone when walking?
China style?
