Staff from Dublin City Council were on hand to direct motorists, who may have been confused despite ample large signs and traffic cones, into the correct lane, but there were no gardai present to discourage drivers from ignoring the new rules.
Head of technical services for Dublin City Council, Brendan O'Brien, said there is definitely a reduction in private motorists using the Quays. "People have taken notice and taken alternative routes..."
A spokesperson for An Garda Síochána said a "period of familiarisation will be required and allowed as the travelling public get used to the traffic flow arrangements".
Dublin City Council has said the traffic management plan is working well. Brendan O'Brien stated, "It's still early days but our traffic monitoring didn't encounter any new pinch-points being flagged."
