Slower Speeds, Safer Roads

On 7 February, speed limits on rural local roads were reduced from 80km/h to 60 km/h.

This change will make Ireland’s roads safer for motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, and all road users.

Reducing speed can significantly increase the chance of survival in the event of a traffic collision, and lowering speed limits on Ireland’s road network will save lives.
