Galway's Roundabouts

Life outside a car in the "City of the Tribes"

 

Galway's Roundabouts

On multilane
roundabouts of the design favoured by Galway corporation cyclists
have an injury accident rate that is 14-16 times that of motorists. Motorcycle/Scooter
users are only marginally better off at 10-13 times the injury rate. They
are also a nightmare for pedestrians. Many of them were built at a time
when over 39% of permanent private households in the City didn't have
a car. While for short urban journeys within the city, foot and cycle
use outweighed motorcar milage by a factor of almost two.
