Under the plan, private motorists can no longer drive the length of the quays – both north and south – instead they must turn off at O’Connell Street and take a detour before returning to the quays.
The idea is to stop motorists using the city centre as a drive through, with the knock-on effect of reducing car traffic in the city centre.
That should free up space for public vehicles – particularly buses – and we hear from a Dublin Bus driver on how it is working.
