      How about stopping the muppets robbing motorcycles and joyriding up and down the streets like lunatics first?

      Sure if a person is hit by a car at 0 kmph the chances of dying is zero so why don’t we just walk everywhere.

      How about we invest in traffic garda, more cameras and actually enforce current limits without fucking everyone over who drives safe and don’t break the laws.

      How about light cameras?

      And doing something about cancer that is scooters?

      I’m all for increased road safety, but as both a cyclist and motorist in Dublin I don’t think the issue is excessive speeds. What percentage of road accidents in the city come from someone driving at excessive speeds?

      The issues are bad drivers not following existing rules of the road and a lack of any meaningful enforcement. More stringent rules don’t solve those issues. It’s not obvious to me that reducing the speed limit from 50 to 30 will in fact improve road safety for pedestrians, cyclists, or motorists.

      Considering most of the 50km/h traffic moves at about 70km/h except when it’s snarled this makes feck all difference as there’s basically by enforcement of traffic laws anyway.

      Signs are cheaper than cameras and Gardaí and they get nice headlines.

      Dealing with the absolutely rampant disregard for red traffic lights and people blazing though pedestrian crossings would be far more useful.

      I can’t think of a single reason to object to this other than impatience.

      Legislation is not needed. The speed reduces itself due to traffic.

      One thing you figure out from cycling is that for the most part speed limits have very little effect on driving times within the city and suburbs. So much time is spent in traffic and at junctions that briefly reaching a higher speed between patches of congestion has SFA effect on your A->B time.

      Where it does make difference is the safety for other road users. 30kph is a practical compromise – it greatly reduces the speed differential between cars and bicycles in those short sections where cars can get up to the posted speed limit.

      Won’t make a difference. The same drivers will still regularly break it.

      Truly amazing that people feel the need to comment on something they haven’t the first clue about.

      All of you saying this will make no difference, what’s the point, have you even thought to google what happens when speed limits are reduced? The science is very clear on this. Lower speed limits mean far less people die , and journey times are unaffected. It also just makes the entire urban realm more pleasant for everyone.

      Commented from somewhere with widespread 30kmph limits

      Maybe reduce them to 10km/h and pedestrians can try to outpace them.
