“We’ll build more roads. That’ll probably fix it.”
-Galway CC probably.
Invest in public transport and cycling infrastructure ye cunts.
That’s the only way you ‘fix’ traffic. A full bus of passengers takes 40 cars off the road.
Need to build more roads to handle the volume.
We need more bridges crossing the corrib
Now do the M50.
You really have to wonder when they install bike lanes, erasing all parking for miles and then find ways to charge us for the increase in traffic.
How do they calculate that cost?
Ireland is the land of the same ole problems dragging on for 50 years
I expect to drive my car wherever and whenever I please, find free parking at my destination, and somehow avoid traffic – even though everyone else wants the exact same thing.

Ok here’s this Dubliner’s assesment of Galway: it’s not a city, it’s an overgrown town, it’s a collection of housing estates. It’s provincial and suffers from limited imagination. Everybody there thinks it’s still the 1980s and that they are entitled to drive to the front door of any shop they visit. The council is incompetent, they have done almost nothing to provide alternatives to the motor vehicle, they are like 20 years behind Dublin, never mind European cities. It’s a low density shithole with bad roads and even worse cycle lanes and bus lanes. They think that because Americans like to spend three days there on each trip to Ireland to see buildings that were constructed hundreds of years ago and which the current generation has had zero impact upon, that they are doing a great job. Galway needs to densify big time, and it needs dedicated routes for public transport. But first it needs to grow up mentally and move into the 21st century.
