Dublin City Council have confirmed that a 30km/hr restriction will be introduced in Dublin’s residential and school areas from midnight tonight.
Under the new law all motorists must abide by the new speed restrictions which will be placed in certain residential areas and in the vicinity of schools in Dublin City Centre.
The city council say new signage will be revealed in housing estates and locations where the speed limit applies in due course.
Speaking about the introduction of the new speed limits, Councillor Ciarán Cuffe, Chairperson of Dublin City Council’s Transportation Strategic Policy Committee, said: “Lower speed limits mean safer streets and calmer communities.”
