Private cars have been permanently banned from College Green in Dublin City Centre in an effort to reduce traffic congestion and improve public transport punctuality.
Dublin City Council has reminded the public that from this Monday, May 29, the new bus corridor comes into effect 24 hours a day, 7 days per week, prohibiting private vehicles from travelling through in all directions.
The section of roadway, known as a Bus Gate, means only public transport and cyclists can avail of its access at College Green, outside Trinity College. Previously, private cars were allowed access outside the hours of 7am to 7pm.
