...I'm sorry to disrupt you while you're reading this article, but without messages like this, IrishCycle.com's reader-funded journalism won't survive. With nearly 1/2 million views and 300k readers so-far this year, it's not just people who are dedicated to cycling that this website reaches. However, the number of subscribers is around 0.6% of readers. While having a large gap between readers/subscribers is standard for non-paywall reader-supported journalism, IrishCycle's journalism needs more support. Don't delay, support monthly or yearly today. Now, back to the article...

At this junction, too many people on bicycles were choosing to rejoin the road rather than be pedestrianise and be directed to the pedestrian-only crossing. But this caused problems so this high-standard Irish junction received an Irish solution — railing were extended were extended to block people from re-joining the road.

An optional extra option is to wait at the yield markings where the black-top cycle path ends — the railing might just move out of your way, you never know.

...That's the end of the article. Keep scrolling if you want to the comments, but IrishCycle.com *NEEDS* readers like you to keep it that way. It only requires a small percentage of readers to give a bit each month or every year to keep IrishCycle.com's journalism open to all. Thank you.
