When the city was being constructed in medieval times, the streets and even the lanes must have appeared wide and spacious. The only kind of traffic they would have experienced then would have been pedestrian, horse or donkey and cart and maybe the odd wheelbarrow. We have two images for you today of the east side of Eyre Square the first (courtesy the National Library ) dates from c1890 and shows that type of traffic; The second (courtesy Galway County Library ) shows the same area with motorised traffic.

So the Corporation had to make occasional changes to the bye-laws in relation to traffic.
