South Mall Cycle Infrastructure
South Mall
Cork City Council, with funding from the National Transport Authority, provided a dedicated two-way cycle lane on the South Mall including a new pedestrian crossing, adjustments to traffic lanes, new lining, new signage, installation of edge protection, alterations to car parking, adjustments to traffic signals, adjustments to cycle parking and renewal of surfacing. This cycle infrastructure provides a link between the existing cycle infrastructure at Parnell Place and that at Sullivan’s Quay.
The two-way cycle lane on the South Mall is fully separated from the adjoining carriageway by means of car parking spaces, bollards and lining.
