Cork's One Ways

Here's a map of Cork city centre showing the one ways. (ignore the coloured dots - they represent existing and proposed bike parking.)

This might make sense (!) from a traffic management point of view but for a cyclist it is very inconvenient. A bicycle takes up very little space on the road so there is little reason to stop cyclists from using the most direct route.

And in fact this is what most cyclists do. This should be legalised by allowing cyclists to go against one ways. Of course it has to be well signposted for all road users and maybe it wouldn't work for some one ways but if we can put a man on the moon surely we can manage this!
