There are already a number of contraflow cycle lanes in operation across Dublin City and elsewhere in the country.  There are currently no plans to change the legal basis for these lanes as laid out in the Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations 1997 (as amended) and underpinned by the appropriate Road Traffic (Signs) Regulations, The provision of such infrastructure, in accordance with that legislation, remains the responsibility of the local authorities.
