TODAY, Friday 7th
February, the speed limit on rural, local roads changes from 80 km/h to 60 km/h. Rural, local roads
primarily serve local traffic and connect our rural
communities. These roads are designated with an ‘L’
followed by a number, or do not have a number. |

Speed limits on rural
roads change today from 80km/h to 60km/h. |
Local authorities have
received grant funding from the Department of Transport
to purchase and install poles and signs to display the
new speed limit on the relevant roads. The ‘rural speed
limit sign’, which is used as an alternative to numeric
speed limit signs on specific single lane rural roads,
will now mean that a maximum 60km/h limit is in force.
As with all speed limits, it will be an offence to
exceed the stated limit. The Department of Transport has
been working closely with An Garda Síochána, along with
other stakeholders, to ensure that the 60 km/h limit is
enforced.
