Dublin’s streets are getting a safety makeover. The city council is rolling out new flashing amber arrows on traffic lights. These eye-catching signals have an important job: reminding drivers to let cyclists go first.
When drivers are turning left, they’ll see these flashing arrows. It’s a friendly nudge to wait for cyclists going straight to pass through the junction safely. Only after the cyclists are clear can drivers make their turn.
Dublin City Council says this change will make the roads safer and more enjoyable for everyone. Úna Morrison from the Dublin Cycling Campaign agrees, calling it a welcome step. She hopes it will help drivers remember the rules about giving cyclists priority.
The council shared this news on social media today, sparking interest among locals. It’s all part of a bigger plan to make Dublin more cycle-friendly.
So, Dublin drivers, keep an eye out for those flashing arrows. They’re there to help everyone share the road safely!
