A perfect example of why we are failing on #ActiveTransport in Ireland.
Instead of applying best international practice when building cycle paths, local councils and engineers come up with their own 'solutions'.

When we go on about sustainable cities and #SustainableTransport / #ActiveTransport , this 👇 is what we are talking about!
We could have streets like this all over Ireland!
This is the level of ambition and investment we need across Ireland!
