Runs parallel to railway line. I think the new high frequency 151 service runs along here to the city centre.

The rest may or may not go as 2 more tracks are added. Railway overbridges cannot be listed regardless of age, unlike canal overbridges for some reason.

These trucks should soon be banished from the city quays when they start using the Port Tunnel, thank God-they turn an otherwise lovely amenity into a smelly awful noisy place to be. Your coffee vibrates as lorries rumble by.

A Luas tram is seen here crossing the junction. Mellor signal heads look great on stainless steel poles and a true British icon here but it will be a matter of time before more AluStar signals will show up on these poles which I am not looking forward to seeing.

These Peek Elite traffic lights are seen here mounted on a mammoth of a gantry!

The green bicycle aspect is stacked underneath the green man, making the pedestrian lights quite strange to look at!

This might seem intimidating having to cross over four or five lanes! The green bicycle aspect is stacked underneath the green man, making the pedestrian lights quite strange to look at

I've discovered some traffic lights right inside a multi-storey car park at Dundrum Town Centre! However these are mostly switched off which I think these are only part-time signals only for busy peak periods when people get stuck entering or leaving the car-park! The signal heads are Siemens Helios.

This is the current standard bus stop type being installed across the city. Most all new roads built around here of late have continuous buslanes throughout, something I totally agree with as it is good futureproofing.

On new road parallel to Dublin-Cork railway line, just over the fence. The wall is actually a bridge support for a bridge spanning the road and railway.

This junction features normal UK Elite heads, with traditional British push buttons, and one Futurit design Serco pedestrian light, with a Swiss (walking, as opposed to standing) amber figure in the background.

It is prettey obvious that the Mellor was Dublins staple signal before the Swarco Alustar.

A traffic signal!

the ahead filter here is somewhat hindered by the fact that roadworks block it's lane, so left and right traffic (who are held at a red light) are blocking ahead traffic.

These are now Dublin's staple signal type.

Protected right turn phase on new AluStar heads at this former SGE location

Examples of new TSC Mellor heads now having smaller 200mm sized arrow aspects after the UK DfT outlawed the older 300mm size a few years ago.

The former home of Dublin's final set of SGE traffic lights which disappeared recently. A very sad development indeed. The new AluStars were installed due to the demand for a pedestrian crossing facility and a protected right turn phase.
I would have to say the AluStars don't look at all right fitting in the historical character of the location that the old SGEs did. Take a look at one AluStar mounted on a Georgian ornamental streetlight which pretty much says it all!

The first time I've seen a toucan crossing using Motus AluStar signal heads as most Toucans I've seen all have Mellor heads!

Dublin's single aspect tram signals appear the same as those already found in places such as Manchester and Sheffield

This pelican crossing has really ancient Futurit signal heads which are falling to bits. Note there are no zig-zag markings present.

A toucan crossing using Mellor signal heads. The cycle lights work in synchro with the pedestrian lights.
Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Mar 02, 2007 by DorsetWay
This light seems to be in Swiss style, like their lights, the amber man is in walking mode rather than standing. Quite likely to be a mistake.

Nearside indicators? What nearside indicators?
