The Department is currently consulting with the Road Safety Authority and An Garda Síochána and has sought their views on the relevant provisions. Before any amendments are considered to clarify the situation in relation to the circumstances surrounding the mandatory use of cycle lanes, this Department will have to satisfy itself that any such measures strike an appropriate balance between the views of all stakeholders from a road safety perspective. A detailed report on this issue is expected from the RSA shortly.
