Why almost all Phoenix Park drivers break the speed limit

The Irish Times reports that over 10 million vehicles pass through Dublin's Phoenix Park annually, with nearly all exceeding the speed limit. Chesterfield Avenue, the main road through the park, lacks pedestrian crossings, making it dangerous for walkers and cyclists. Despite the addition of cycle lanes, their poor design and maintenance make them ineffective. The article explores why speeding remains unchecked and how the park has become a route for commuters, despite longstanding awareness of the issue.
