I used to live right there. The barriers don’t come down that fast; you’d need to be completely ignorant of your surroundings to mess that up.

also, how can a cyclist damage the gates? you'd come a fair cropper if you were going fast enough to damage them.
when that line is electrified, that level crossing will become unusable during rush hour.

I think they use magic to stop that being an issue.

I suspect it might be some automated safety sensor type deal with the cyclist. The one near us has about 1 minute down time before the train comes which i suspect is to give plenty of room for errors, or some eijit climbing under the railing

Years ago there was a public consultation on building a new road bridge to circumvent that, similar to what they did for the Ratoath Road. But I don’t see where they would find the space for it without CPOs and people losing their homes.

there's a lot of history with that level crossing. about 30 years ago, planning permission for the local estates was taking into account a new road bridge over the line, but the locals are up in arms about that proceeding now.
i'm out that way a lot, my parents live near to it - and my brother lives the other side of the line from them.

edit: my understanding was they'd left a wide strip north of the canal along this red line to facilitate the approach to the bridge. riverwood would be tight though.

The estates might have accounted for it, but I doubt the Celtic Tiger apartments on the Carpenterstown side did.

First cycle of the year yesterday. 17K, 22kmh average. Happy enough with that. One of my legs had had enough by the end of it though.

I can see how it would work but this seems to be the solution to a problem that no one has.
