Law Enforcement and Road User Behaviour

The Dublin Cycling Campaign wants to see much stronger enforcement of traffic legislation that affects vulnerable road users, including cyclists and pedestrians. These include:

  1. Speeding on urban and rural roads
  2. Inattention by motorists, e.g. use of mobile phones
  3. Dangerous overtaking
  4. Vehicle standards, particularly for HGVs
  5. Dangerous parking, e.g. in cycle lanes
  6. Bicycle theft

In a submission to the Road Safety Authority in 2012 we called for greater education of drivers on how to interact safely with cyclists.
