Motorists across Ireland have been urged to put their best foot forward and abandon their cars for the day today as Europe marks international Car Free Day.
Annual Car Free Day will see restrictions imposed on traffic in more than eleven locations around the country.
Annual Car Free Day is an international event involving more than 1,000 towns and cities to promote sustainable transport.
Delays will be compounded by today's All-Ireland Football Final with patrons reminded that parking in the vicinity of the ground is banned and cars parked illegally are liable to be clamped or impounded. Motorists are being warned to expect delays on all routes in and around the city.
Restrictions are being imposed on Parliament Street, St. Andrew Street, Midddle and Upper Abbey St (except exit from Arnott's car park 9am ' 6pm). Dublin Bus is participating by providing free travel from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Expect delays and changes to usual routes in other locations taking part in this year's Car Free Day. They are: Cork, Dún Laoghaire, Galway, Greystones, Kilkenny, Limerick, Portlaoise, Waterford and Newcastle West. Some streets will be reserved for pedestrians and non-car travel.
Bus Éireann is offering free travel on its fleet during specified periods on its city services in Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford. Travellers are advised to contact their Local Authority for specific regional details.
