Show Notes

Would you cycle across Dublin city if you were met with green lights all the way?  Well, cyclists in Copenhagen are about to get just that! A new initiative is set to be launched that will see synchronized traffic lights on key roads, allowing cyclists to travel at about 20km/h. But is this feasible in a city that has cars driving around?   

 Ajit Niranjan, European Environment Correspondent with The Guardian, joined Pat Kenny on the show to discuss the new initiative.
