Wednesday, March 8, 2017 Dublin: At its meeting on 5th December 2016 Dublin City Council adopted proposals to introduce 30 km/h speed limits for most roads "within the Canals" on 31 March and to introduce 30 km/h in residential estates in a numbers of suburbs later in the year. Love 30 is delighted with Dublin City Council's decision. We are particularly pleased that it includes the area within the Canals, which is one of the aims in the Love 30 Vision Statement. We are also pleased that Dublin City Council is introducing 30 km/h in the City Centre and is not confining it to residential estates.

We are disappointed that the distributor roads remain at 50 km/h. you can see the map of the new limits on this link: 30KP Speed Limit Review-01.06.2016   South Dublin 30 km/h in residential estates

South Dublin has adopted revised Bye-Laws introducing 30 km/h in most residential estates. Signs are now being erected and the new limits should become law in Spring/Summer 2017.
