Just noticed morning traffic restrictions on these segments:

Unfortunately I split the segment yesterday when adding a new development which wasn’t there (Rhodaville place) - and this has nuked the history so I can’t see when they were added.
Is there actually a new restriction there? Seems suspicious to me.
Yes - there were temporary restrictions for a while and I think it’s now been made permanent. It might even be one-way now - I’m not 100% of the details.
There should be a map comment here to explain (because street view will be out of date). Yanis has been tracking this - I’ll ask him to put a map comment here and reply to this thread.

Hi guys, this is the only affected segment and there is a comment with the details over it. The conversion to one-way automatically covers the turn restrictions that Dublin City mentions on their report.

The segments in Doug’s permalink had driving restrictions since a long time ago and I left them in place for the time I was tracking the scheme. History is gone now because the segment was split though.
All that being said though, I think the driving restriction might not be applicable any more, so I think we should remove it.
I walked this area this morning and this evening and can find no signage indicating time-based restrictions for any traffic in any direction on Mountpleasant Ave Lwr.
Therefore I also believe they should be removed.
Note that it can be a bit of a mess there in the morning - but I checked out the alternative routing options Waze gives for the restricted times - and I think they would all be worse than routing via Mountpleasant Ave Lwr.
What about the right turn heading north on Mountpleasant Ave Lwr onto Bannaville?

This sign is visible in Street View, which was last updated in July of last year:
So maybe the road itself can have time-based restrictions removed, but is the right turn restriction still there?

I just checked and the 07:00-10:00 Mon-Sat No Right Turn sign for Northbound traffic is still there.
There is no corresponding No Left Turn sign for Southbound traffic - and there is no sign on the Bannaville entrance with any kind of time restriction - so it does indeed just appear to be a Northbound restriction.
Once again - I looked carefully and couldn’t find any other time-based road-restriction signs.
I don’t suppose the council have anywhere convenient we can look this up?
Thanks for taking the time to investigate the area, I’ve removed the driving restriction from Mountpleasant Ave Lwr, and I see the turn restriction on to Bannaville is already in place (Mon-Sat 0700-1000).
Not really, but we have a contact that sometimes gives us updates. But in this case I don’t think we need to reach out since you’ve surveyed the area and our map will comply with reality.
