      well overdue and badly needed.

      cameras on the buses to film cars that are obstructing bus lanes would sort that out too!

      I still don’t get why we don’t have red light cameras at most light controlled junctions. It’s a no-brainer, this has been a problem for years, it’s more of a problem now as more people realise they’ll get away with it because of lack of enforcement.

      Start with the bigger or more problematic junctions and roll it out over time to as many as possible. This could pay for itself very quickly.

      Nail these fuckers where it hurts.

      There’s nothing “revealing” about this. Walk, run, cycle, drive anywhere and you’ll see the extent and how blatantly it is.
      Might shut up those too who think it’s a bigger problem with cyclists doing it.

      Must have had their eyes closed to only get 60 in 8 hrs… I see 2 or 3 at every cycle of the lights during rush hour(s) at the busy crossroad near me. Dublin or Galway is no different.

      Red light cameras are an unfortunate necessity at this stage. The level of mé-féinerism on the roads is beyond ridiculous.

      Hopefully that also covers people that turn at spots they are not allowed to as well as bus drivers not following the rules.

      Pearse/Tara street……. green light for pedestrians is always ignored. The traffic lights are just decoration!

      I’m a recent mover to Galway from the UK- my initial observation was that traffic light phases are extremely long and I wondered if that contributes to the red light jumping.

      Basically, if drivers know they will wait a fairly short time until their ‘turn’ then it’s more likely they will obey the instruction to stop.

      If you did this, you’d need to advertise the move to have drivers think differently, and you’d need to back it up with enforcement.

      Articles like this are hilarious.

      ” err nerrr we’re so frustrated!”

      Just prosecute, that’s it, that’s the whole thing. Tickets, fines, penalty points.

      The amount of drivers breaking red lights is ridiculous.

      Cameras are a quick fix.

      Also need to enforce red lights with cyclists who just think they don’t apply to them

      It’s another regression in society post-pandemic. 5years ago I would expect a red light runner to continue their behaviour further up the road as it was symptomatic of their driving, bus lanes, speeding, dipping into short-cuts and rat runs. But it’s vanilla commuters, a gradual monkey see monkey do attitude but I can only presume a hard-held belief that they are the safe ones.

      It used to be the last car that would stick to the tail of the legally previous vehicle to pass through and be ‘ok’. But now it’s 4 and 5 cars and anything up to 3-4 seconds of green for the opposing traffic.

      Go stand where the Long Mile Road crosses over the Naas Road going to the Nangor road. Every morning its a nighmare of people breaking the lights then end up blocked the road so we get stuck on the luas track. EVERY GOD DAMN MORNING

      The funniest bit is how now, the traffic lights kinda get ‘inverted’.

      Light goes red, 2 or 3 cheeky fuckers race through. Light goes green for other side, they can’t move without a collision, so the light is going red already…. fuck this, they pull out into the yellow box and ignore the beeps. Light goes green for the 1st street again, but they can’t move as the yellow box is blocked… so what they hell they pull into it too, can’t move when it’s green but finally can move when it’s red.

      So you have traffic blocked when it’s green, and moving when it’s red. Pedestrians and cyclists are taking their lives in their hands.

      >”Overwhelmingly, the biggest problem we have is the amount of congestion and traffic on Irish roads. We’re going to have to get that down because that’s one of the reasons why people are so frustrated to make bad decisions while driving,” Prof Lunn said.

      Is that the official ESRI policy? It’s everyone else’s fault for making you do it?

      It is beyond epidemic levels on city streets where I am.

      On the traffic lights nearest the local school, at 8:30am, drivers *frequently* go through the green man. The same drivers who may just have dropped off their own kids.

      Other times of day, drivers speed up when they see the lights go amber.

      The cars that *just* make the lights are often followed through by 1-2 more tailgating cars now clearly crossing on the red, because of a “sure the lad ahead of me got to go through” attitude.

      But we’re only getting a handful of enforcement cameras and they’re all well documented as to where they’re going. The problem is a lot more widespread.
