Little congestion on first morning of Dublin traffic changes but many motorists flouting new rules with no gardai present

Despite the implementation of new traffic restrictions at O'Connell Bridge aimed at reducing congestion, the lack of gardaí presence led many motorists to disregard the rules.

Numerous large signs and traffic cones directed motorists correctly, yet many still chose to ignore these regulations, highlighting a significant challenge in enforcing the new rules.

The beginning of the school week served as a critical test for the new traffic restrictions, with a noticeable decline in private cars helping public transport move more freely.

Dublin City Council staff observed the situation at O'Connell Bridge, noting the system's functioning well; however, their inability to enforce rules underscored a key gap in traffic management.
