In October, the average speed of traffic in Dublin City Centre was 13.4km/h during the morning peak.

This is slower than the densely populated London, with the English capital clocking an average speed of 14km/h.

This begs the question, as traffic rises every morning, is it time to make a change?

Joining Ciara to discuss this further is Jason Cullen of Dublin Commuter Coalition and Keith Gavan, Chairman of the Irish Parking Association.
