Segregated cycle lane comes under fire from local councillor who calls it a 's*** show' and the cause of 'traffic chaos'... but not everyone's convinced... cycling
A segregated cycle lane in Limerick in Ireland has come under fire from a local councillor who called it a"shit show" and accused the segregated two-way infrastructure of causing"chaos" on the road that was narrowed to make way for it.
Cllr Slattery, a local politician for Fianna Fáil, encouraged residents to contact the active travel department with their complaints and said"we cannot put up with this traffic chaos any longer". The comments came after the councillor had been"held up" behind a broken down car on the road, leaving"nowhere to pull in" and"cars cannot go around".
"Something really needs to be done with the above. A car broke down this evening and the traffic was held up behind it, it's crazy that there is nowhere to pull in and cars cannot go around as there is traffic coming towards you. A mistake was made on designing this cycle lane and it needs to be rectified.
