All the hi-vis in the world isn't keeping me safe from people speeding, people on their phones and people not paying attention, red light breaking while they're driving.

The importance of visibility on our roads cannot be understated, particularly for vulnerable road users including pedestrians, cyclists, e-scooter drivers and motorcyclists.

So this driver was speeding, went over to the other side of the road, killed a person, yet the judge said "Her culpability in relation to dangerous driving is on the lower side", and suspended her sentence...
... but remember, where your hi-viz and it'll be grand 🤬

What a load of victim-blaming nonsense.

I wear a high viz vest and insist that my children wear them if on their bikes. I am not a road safety authority. Your messaging and action need to be on the sources of road danger, not the victims of it.

Absolutely none of which matters when motorists speed, play on their phones, drive drunk/drugged/tired, or simply believe they own the road.
My first email this morning is from a resident about motorists speeding through pedestrian lights near homes, schools, a church and a library.
It's constant.

It's deffo important to be visible but I'm really looking forward to the bigger and more important campaign aimed at getting drivers to slow down and be vigilant. Caution is required when driving and I see very little of it. People drive as if nothing unexpected will ever happen.

At every single set of lights in this country drivers sit staring at their phones, accelerating ahead without even looking up, and the Gards are still pushing the idea that pedestrians and cyclists can protect themselves at all from this dangerous driving.
Dangerous driving they refuse to punish.

I know far too many people who have been knocked off their bikes, and not once has it happened because of poor visibility or because they were not lit up enough. In each case, it was the fault of dangerous driving and/or dangerous infrastructure.

Yeah - I know people in West Cork and North Cork who are seeing connectivity between towns and villages that they just didn't have before - older people in particular - able to hop on a bus, do a bit of shopping, maybe stop off for a drink or a cup of tea and back home again - Greens got no credit!

I'm a bit of a nerd about this - but it's hard to quantify just how popular Local Link buses have been in 'rural Ireland' - new one will link villages from Cork to Kerry that haven't had a bus service since the 1960s... www.corkbeo.ie/news/local-n...

Between 2023 and 2024, the number of cars entering Galway City Centre increased by 3% but the modal share of people travelling by car is down -- this is thanks to stronger growth in bus and rail passengers, up by 25% and 6%. That's according to a traffic count conducted by the National Transport Authority and Galway City Council, which took place last November for the second time, meaning there is now the first set of figures to compare.

The mixing of the two in media coverage is extremely unhelpful, and shows a complete lack of interest/understanding of the basics. A quick search for "cycling in NL" would quickly show the difference. First question for any guest talking about infra should be "would you let your kids use it?"
