Traffic Restrictions

St James’s Hospital is introducing a traffic management strategy to reduce the volumes of through traffic to the site for Safety and Security reasons.

This will result in Restricted Access Via the Rialto Gate, i.e. access only for Staff with Valid Permits, Emergency Vehicles and Dublin Bus.

James’s Street Entrance to the Hospital will now be the main public access point going forward.

There will be traffic restrictions at the James’s Street entrance at peak traffic times but this will not affect bona fide visitors to the hospital as Intercoms which are monitored via the Hospital’s Security Control Room are in operation at both entrances.

There will be no restrictions to Emergency Vehicles or Dublin Bus at any time.

Private Vehicles wishing to gain access to the Hospital’s Emergency Department should use the Intercom located at the Access Barrier.
