No there are worse cities in Europe than Dublin for traffic its just when you are a tourist abroad you don t notice theses things.

Galway was never as bad as Dublin back then or now given the smaller size and population. Galway has certainly exploded in growth just like Dublin, though. I remember the N-17, N-18 and other Galway arteries being relatively free moving at one point--not no more at all. It was inside the town where things turned into a mess. If they hadn't pedestrianised inner Galway in the 1990s, that backup today would have most certainly backflowed what is now a busy, crowded, growing and suburbanising city. As for pedestrianising Dublin, I certainly like that for Temple Bar for starters, and that already partially exists.
