Irish cyclists are asked what they think of a 1.5 metre passing distance

Is it time to standardise a minimum safe passing distance of 1.5 metres into road traffic legislation in Ireland — that’s the focus of an online survey being conducted by the Dublin Cycling Campaign.

Respondents who enter draw can win prizes including a €150 voucher from BimBimBikes and a signed Stayin’ Alive at 1.5 jersey from Sean Kelly.

...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...

The survey is open until the end of August and the results are expected to be presented at the Irish Transport Research Network conference in September.

...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.
