Yes - to pedestrian traffic which suits me fine!Does anyone find that there is any improvement in traffic due to Operation Freeflow?
Is there any way of the general public giving feedback to the guards about this joke of a system?
I don't live in Dublin, but have visited it a few times over the last year or so.
I could not believe how shocking the traffic jams were in parts of the city - you would be quicker walking in many areas.
From what I saw it is now probably worse than many European capitals that I have seen, except these places have better public transport and even tubes.
There is going to be no decrease in congestion until people either start using public transport more, get charged for having only one person in the car, get charged for entering the city limits, or the Gov bites the bullet and do what they should have foreseen years ago - build an underground.
i have a colleague who complained bitterly today that it took 90 minutes to travel the 2 miles from home to work.
Walk or get a bus so!!
Exactly! I find that hilarious - is this person that lazy that they would rather endure 90 minutes of frustration than a 20 minute walk?
(Am assuming of course that they are physically able to walk this distance - maybe they are not)
I think that we now live in a society that has the attitude "I have paid for my car so I am going to use it".
Maybe I just work with exceptionally lazy people??
The secretary in our Dept recently insisted that she must get a taxi to travel half a mile to another office as she would "get too tired" walking. She's not ancient BTW - in her 30's.
This gives me the impression that you work in the Dept of Transport, where the secretary is female and in her 30s or 40s. DoT also has a number of builidngs around the city centre which are all within a mile of one another......the irony
