These lanes will be incorporated into the cycle lane network for the city as set out in this document.

Limerick City Council has provided in recent years cycle parking facilities at key locations throughout the city. Figure 2 shows the location of the cycle lanes and cycle parking is shown on figure 3. Also shown is a type of cycle parking facility.

However, most cyclists park by chaining the bicycles to poles, railings, etc. which is unsightly, disorganised and sometimes a hazard to pedestrians. This haphazard parking often diminishes the quality of the street environment.
