Collage green

[mercenary for hire]

To muddy things up more taxi does not appear on the new "bus" green lights but we are expected to go on the bus green.

I rang up someone in the corpo office who told me this but it wouldn't surprise me if some insurance company decides to contest it in the event of an accident.

I'm often beeped on the quays by FNs who insist I should go on the bicycle green signal.

From Monday the 29th May 2023 the current College Green bus gate will be expanded to 24 hours 7days per week, prohibiting private vehicles from travelling through in all directions.

---------------------------

That's good enough for me,private vehicles are excluded.

Most day lads  use it every day at all hours.

Agreed.  But they can get specific when they want to...  E.g., Top of North Frederick Street - "PSV" and not just "Buses" unlike College Green busgate.  BTW, I'm not trying to be argumentative, just curious/confused.

All you need is a cop in a bad humour, or a zealous chief super.

We are PSV's though.

[watty]

Yeah, I know.  That's my point.  This implies that North Frederick Street ("PSV") is inclusive for buses and taxis while College Green ("buses") is exclusive so only buses and no taxis?

I know hundreds of taxis use College Green daily but the logic of those signs suggests they shouldn't be?

[watty]

The College Green (buses, trams & bicycles) would suggest motorbikes are banned as well?

We're agreeing 99% with other.  I'm just saying the word taxi does not seem to appear on the southbound traffic sign.

The old sign (from Google Earth) was:



and the new sign I saw today looked something like this 



No mention of taxis in either one!

I drove through last night out of curiosity [behind a stream of other taxis], and the second sign is currently the official one.

Proves you can read so consciously chose to ignore relevant signage, I guess... although ignorance is no defence unless you happen to be a member of An Garda Siochana unfamiliar with the geographically imposed jurisdictional boundaries of the Free State as per Free State -vs- Hutch.

However, I did see a sign last night that you could use in defence if necessary. As I approached College Green from D'Olier St or Westmoreland St (can never remember which is which buth the one that flows Northside to Southside) there was one of those digital information boards which stated that College Green is closed to all vehicles except "public service vehicles". While I suspect the legal effect of such a sign is either non-existent or negated by the sign at point of entry to the restricted passageway it could certainly be used to construct a valid argument i.e. a certain degree of forward planning is necessary in tackling city traffic e.g. if such an information sign told you there's 2,356 free parking spaces in Fleet Street car park you'd be justified in assuming you can park in one free of charge, right?

I think the council are pulling these signs out of the parts bin! 

I went the other way today - from Dame St southbound towards Westmoreland St.
Right turn from Georges St onto Dame St:  Public Service Vehicles, Motorbikes, Bicycles
@ Pens Corner where private cars turn right: Buses, Taxis, Bicycles & Access
College Green @ taxi rank: Public Transport only.

And as a reminder:
Southbound from D'Olier St to Dame St, it's:  Buses, Trams & Bicycles
And RC spotted a mobile sign: Public Transport Only
