Footpath widening for Covid has made walking on city streets much easier. However, traffic light set ups impede safe walking. Crossing the River Liffey involves a zig zag dance across the busy quays at some key bridges, which lead pedestrians to taking chances and encourages jay walking. An example is to try and walk in a straight line from the Guinness Storehouse to Smithfield - a popular route for tourists and residents. Time allocations at pedestrian crossings are very car oriented and pedestrians are very rushed, after waiting a long time for the "green man".
