Truck drivers turning from Dolphin Road to Dolphens Barn, while people were cycling on their left, has resulted in serious and fatal injuries.New signage and possibly other measures are to be installed at Dolphens Barn Bridge to reduce the risk of crashes between motorists turning and people walking and cycling. Cllr Noelle Brown (Social Democrats) said there was a meeting after a traffic incident involving a truck driver and a person cycling at Dolphens Barn Bridge last November, but no action has been taken since. As reported at the time, a woman in her 30s was seriously injured in a collision involving a truck driver turning at the bridge.At this months South East Area committee meeting, Cllr Brown also referenced a previous fatal collision when a truck driver was turning while a cyclist was using the cycle lane beside them in November 2023.The person cycling in this case was Josilaine Ribeiro, a 36-year-old Brazilian carer who was living in Dublin and cycling to work at the time of the crash. After that collision, bollards and planters were installed to protect the cycle lanes on the approach to the bridge, but that seems to have failed to fully address the issue. As a measure to prevent another incident, there could be temporary signage put in to alert drivers to pedestrians and cyclists turning left and the response I got was about BusConnects and all of the works due to take place, Cllr Brown said. She called for action ahead of longer-term works to prevent more severe injury or deaths. Colm Ennis, a senior executive engineer with Dublin City Councils Transport Advisory Group, said that the written response to the councillor should have referred to planned interim measures.I think it should have been included in the response that were looking at interim measures before the bigger job thats to be done by Active Travel on the bridge there, he said.He said that these interventions would include signage on the approach to both sides of the bridge.Ennis added: Its something that such a regrettable situation there. So rather than waiting for the big beautiful solution to it and putting interventions even if we need to do more before the bigger job.Cllr Brown asked for a timeframe around the works as she receives complaints from the public that nothing is being done to make the junction safer. Ennis said that additional signage should be added over the next few weeks, with extra work on the cycle and bus lane from the bridge to the South Circular Road in the weeks after that.TIPS WELCOME: Were aware that IrishCycle.com covers Dublin City South East Area committee meetings a lot there are a number of reasons for this, including the committee meetings being more focused on traffic issues than other areas, and it being an area of the city centre which residents from many areas use to get to work or elsewhere.
