DCC trying to go 30km/hr again

[watty]

This'll be a nightmare for the night drivers     We'll have to be really careful coming up to the end of the month if the Guards need to make their quota...

Almost all Dublin city roads likely to have 30km/h speed limits by next year

Almost all roads in the Dublin City Council area are likely to have speed limits of 30km/h by early next year, following a speed reduction assessment which is currently under way.

The council is examining areas that currently allow speeds of 50, 60 and 80km/h and a public consultation on the changes will be issued in the coming months.

It is almost 20 years since Dublin City Council began gradually reducing speed limits to 30km/h, mainly in the city centre and residential areas of the capital.

The majority of roads in the area now have a 30km/h limit, but the remaining roads, which have higher limits, are now being assessed to see where further reductions can be made.

The last round of reductions took place around 2020, and this latest assessment is likely to result in almost all roads in the Dublin City Council area having a 30km/h speed limit.

The small number of roads that have a 80km/h limit may also see a reduction to 60km/h.

Can you have nightmares if you work nights?  Or is it daymares?

Did you see the Idiot taxi Rep saying it will slow down taxis going to pickups Then the same fucking logic that told a Dail Transport Committee that taxi drivers are working Dangerous hours because of Apps then says We as Professional Drivers would not be able to drive a car under 30K an Hour . You couldnt do a better job as a Taxi Rep with no Paying Members than that to promote driverless taxi services .

Good idea but useless in the absence of enforcement.
