A graph showing the rise in citations for our 2023 motonormativity paper, up to 101 in total today

Given the considerable lags in the academic publishing process, I'm surprised and gratified by how rapidly motonormativity is becoming a thing in the literature

To miss this opportunity to remove a sub standard junction when all these works are undertaken would be reckless

#NotAStatistic — 247 Killed on Irish Roads in 2025 One person every 35 hours. Find your TD or MLA and demand action. Roads don't recognise the border. Neither should the response.

Our road fatality & serious injury (KSI) toll keeps rising in #Ireland. Those charged with implementing the government's road safety strategy 2021-30 are failing us, particularly #ActiveTravel users.
Please share this petition widely & contact your elected reps (on-line tool).

Ironic that Gloucestershire Constabulary accuse cyclists of making up legislation just before they go on to do the same…

Surely their registration plate will determine where they originated from

License plates are of course the answer!!??

If roads are too narrow - alternate and possibly brave decisions are required

Compromising solid design principles undermines any scheme

Couldn’t agree more.

Build a GOOD lane - it’ll get used.

Sadly we repeat (too readily) our ability to install sub standard lanes that frustrate all road users when they’re not used.

The Conyngham/Chapelizod Rd scheme is full of compromise that DCC defend - exceptions need to be rare not routine

So rationale for the bypass is in case a bridge is closed?

The bridge is rarely/never closed.

Galway ring road planning inspector’s report has little grasp on reality Comment & Analysis: The idea that a project is established in local and national policy should hold some weight, but the An Coimisian Pleanala Inspector’s Report on the N6 Galway City Ring Road…

Those lads didn’t seem interested in 1-3!!

Yup. The numbers tell a sad tale. In 5 years almost 65,000 pedestrians killed or injured by car drivers compared to 2,000 by ppl cycling.
It's scandalous really that it's so accepted.

Commuters won't consider using a bike for transport if it isn't safe. Build protected bike infrastructure, slow drivers down, remove street parking; make it safe and bike commuters will appear. Paris is an example to the world how political will has achieved a modal shift. #EndCarDependency

Why leave enforcement so long?

A capital city crippled by illegal parking…

But a failing road, eg one with potholes, may be more susceptible to damage with increasing weight (up to the power of 9)

Us: What are you building?
Them: Congestion.

Some very creative accounting was needed to greenlight the Galway ring road Deeming this project climate-compliant is untenable, argues architect and transport planner Ciarán Ferrie.

Would Ministers work on policy proposals overnight for climate protesters? Far more important than this oil costs stuff in the medium term but no, no they would not get off their ass for climate.

Seven years today since @hammersmithbridge.bsky.social closed to motor traffic. Many happy returns to all who celebrate

Nothing solves traffic like building more traffic. Induced demand about to hit 200%:
1 Add lanes
2 Congestion briefly vanishes
3 Everyone drives more
4 Congestion returns

Public transport: “Hi.”
Govt: “Not now, I’m busy widening this queue.”
