Speed limits are set to be reduced throughout Dublin as a result of proposed by-laws by Dublin City Council.
The speed limit is currently 30km/h in the most central parts of Dublin city, but this 30km/h limit is set to be implemented throughout the entire city as well as suburban areas several kilometres outside of the city.
The first phase of the programme – which begins at the end of 2016 – will spread as far as areas like Smithfield, but throughout 2017 speed limits will be reduced to 30km/h in areas as far out as Terenure and Ballymun, according to the Irish Times.
Other affected suburban areas include Sandymount, Crumlin and Drimnagh, Raheny, and parts of Cabra, Phibsborough, Coolock, Glasnevin and Drumcondra.
Some main roads in these areas will retain a 60km/h – but just three roads will have an 80km/h speed limit: parts of the Chapelizod bypass; parts of the Santry bypass; and the Dublin Port Tunnel.
