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.

I came across these blue direction signs in Dundrum, Co. Dublin. January 09.

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.

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.

R138 running from left to right.
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.

All the entrances to the park bear this sign. It is to prevent poaching of the deer in the park. It is regularly ignored.

This time mounted below the head and what a silly place to put that signal the lamppost almost certainly predates it!

A Toucan crossing in the southern Dublin suburb of Dundrum. This Toucan has red and amber bicycle aspects as well as the green, they work in sync with the pedestrian lights.

Another variation of a Philips/Serco signal head which this has more pointy hoods. These signals are either labeled as Philips or Serco which is why I named these as both. These also can be seen today in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Thailand.

These silver Heritage streetlights, with Urbis Albany lanterns, currently blanket most of Dublin's city streets. Most old streetlights are replaced for these. These lights are on the Quays, the two busy one-way systems with the River Liffey in between, which I think these look elegant lining up one by one facing the river.

A row of old unsleeved concrete streetlights along Wilton Terrace by the Grand Canal. It is a bit of a surprise that these lights haven't been sleeved over the past years though some of them have concrete crumbling away (spalling) the third column is seen to have been patched over with tape. The lanterns are of the top entry style. These will probably go in the next few years being swapped with the silver reproduced 'heritage' streetlights which currently dominate the streets of Dublin.

Pay and Display signage in Dublin. The colour coded bands mean something but I can't remember what it is!
