Laois motorists should watch out for the following new signs on roads as rural speed limits reduce today.
Speed limits on many rural local roads reduce from 80km/h to 60 km/h today(Friday, February 7, 2025).
The change has been brought into effect and is the first phase in a multi-step process of reducing speed limits to increase road safety in Ireland.
According to the Road Safety Authority, “the ‘Rural Speed Limit’ sign for rural local roads, a generic sign that does not display a numeral value replaced the 80 km/h speed limit signs on rural local roads (boreens) in 2015.”
This sign on rural and local roads now means drive at 60Km/h or below.
