“We need lower speed limits across our road network, plus better design, more segregation and more enforcement” Well said @ciarancannon
Every 48 hours someone dies on Irish roads – not because they failed, but because we did. Writing in the @Independent_ie today on behalf of our 26,000 @CyclingIreland members and all vulnerable road users. We need to rethink road safety in Ireland. https://t.co/mheXmG4sib

Excellent article from @CyclingIreland president @ciarancannon 👏 “Our entire road-safety discourse centres on the vulnerable road-user taking extraordinary steps to stay alive in a hostile environment…” https://t.co/2g4p5PlfvJ

On average, someone dies on Irish roads every 48 hours, and many more suffer life-changing injuries.

Key to reducing #congestion in #galwaycitycentre is reducing cars. Each full train from #mayo #sligo #tuam will remove 275 cars which = 1.2 acres of parking space #westernrailcorridor #eyresquare #latinquarter @GalwayChamber @GalwayIntArts @galwaytourism @GalwayCycling

10,000 journeys per day were made by rail in County Galway in 2024. This is a massive increase of 50% on 2022 figures as people beat daily #congestion #galwaycity #eyresquare #greendeal #modalshift #westernrailcorridor @GalwayCycling @IrishRail @GalwayChamber

🚦 One year after Amsterdam reduced speed limits to 30 km/h on 500 streets. 🤕 injury-related crashes dropped 11%, 🚗 single-vehicle accidents fell 18%. 📈 support rose to more than 60% Let's unpack: #Amsterdam #30kmh #TrafficSafety

Irish car bonnets are growing taller by half a centimetre each year, with some SUVs so high that a four-year-old child standing directly in front is invisible to the driver. Today, campaigners are calling for legislation to stem the upward trend.
thejournal.ie
Car manufactures have been accused of an SUV ‘arms race’ that’s making roads less safe.

Ya love to see it! Well done @cyculcc for another brilliant Ride On Belfast #ROB25 Such a great way to showcase the joy and ease of cycling 😍
Thanks for coming along this morning for a simple, safe and stress free cycle down to city hall for breakfast. Thanks to Dep. Lord Mayor @PaulDoherty___ for the warm welcome and @belfastcc for the continued support.

The Mayo - Galway railway will connect the major towns in Mayo & Tuam directly to Galway City Centre. The reopened #wrc represents real regional development in motion #westernrailcorridor @NWAssembly @themayonews @thecontel @WesternPeople @MayoNorthEast @CTribune @galwaytourism

The Galway Limerick service is at capacity. It now takes the equivalent of up to 2000 car journeys off the road daily. This reduces #congestion #emissions #traffic & improves #roadsafety #westernrailcorridor @ManchanMagan @limerick_now @CycleGort @GalwayCycling @IrishEnvNet

The #Portal4Cycling will be rolled out at end of 2025 or start of 2026 at latest. This will really give teeth to Dangerous Overtaking of a Cyclist legislation. It will simplify the process enormously. #Cycling #RoadSafety
