The National Transport Authority has distributed the new National Cycle Manual to councils around Ireland, and it now replaces the old manual published in 2011.
The manual has yet to be published online, the CycleManual.ie website version of the old manual has been replaced with a PDF of that manual.
A forward in the Manual states: “The Cycle Design Manual has been prepared by the National Transport Authority (NTA) and overseen by the Department of Transport. This manual replaces the previous National Cycle Manual, published by the NTA in 2011, which is now withdrawn.”
