Dutch-style ‘entrance kerbs’ traffic calming features — a key component of continuous paths — are now available from an Irish supplier
An Irish company has begun supplying local authorities in Ireland with Dutch-style entrance kerbs, alongside a range of 1,800 products that the company is marketing as types of "active travel kerbs". Entrance kerbs work in conjunction with other features as part of traffic calming measures to slow motorists as they leave the main carriageway at entrances to minor side streets, private access points such as businesses and at driveways.

One worry I have about the local link is if they cut the funding or didn't renew a contract. And slowly more and more people will begin to rely on it. Connectivity is key and we have to maintain it
I'm a bit of a nerd about this - but it's hard to quantify just how popular Local Link buses have been in 'rural Ireland' - new one will link villages from Cork to Kerry that haven't had a bus service since the 1960s... www.corkbeo.ie/news/local-n...
