Sure dont we have the bus and cycle lanes for motorbikes already 🤣
Maybe
But we have very few motorcyclists. And if there is any space available I’d much rather a bike or bus lane. So I don’t really see the need
Oh I like this idea! Motorbikes/any bike weaving in traffic makes me nervous as a pedestrian.
I’d rather clearer bus lanes so they don’t sit in traffic
Oh yes, because blue paint is the one thing that Irish motorists won’t cross. White lines mean fuck all but blue is when shit gets real. No, I can’t see it working, or at least not as well as in that video.
Do we even need them? It’s rare enough to see motorbikes stuck in traffic.
I think it’d cause more accidents because of cars needing to change lanes with bikes wizzing past in-between.
Irish motorists can barely comprehend the existence of a second lane, never mind multiple types like that.
I’d fully expect vans to park in it
Some drivers don’t understand that footpaths aren’t for them to park on, doubt they’d grasp the idea of such a lane
We only have like 3 motorcyclists
It could work but it would have to be the inner most lane on motorways, but space and money for the few… its not likely to happen.
If the way motorists treat bicycle lanes is any indication, abso-fucking-lutely not.
Rules of the road are often treated like guidelines in Ireland and we have poor enforcement of traffic regulations here so I’d have little faith in the rules being followed properly.
Dont think we should be taking safety ideas from Brazil
Thats looks more dangerous for Bikers
Motorbikes are more common in Brazil so this makes sense. Don’t think there is enough motorbikes in Ireland to warrant a specific lane for them.
Not enough motorbikes here to justify dedicated infrastructure/ large road layout changes.
