As part of its Active Travel Network, Dublin City Council has installed new island bus stops across the city. The new design aims to protect both footpath users and cyclists.
Dublin City Council has introduced a new design for bus stops, known as Island Bus Stops. The video below demonstrates how to use them.
At these bus stops, the cycle track runs behind the bus stop, separating cyclists from buses and other vehicles. This layout is designed to protect both footpath users and cyclists by creating a clear path for each.
How Island Bus Stops Work
This is what cyclists, pedestrians and wheelchair users should know about using these new road features:
Footpath users should use the zebra crossings to get to and from the bus stop.
Bus passengers will use the zebra crossings to get to and from the bus.
Cyclists must slow down and yield to people using the zebra crossings.
This design encourages mutual cooperation and respect between cyclists, footpath users and bus users. It aims to create a safer and more pleasant space for everyone.
