      I’m shocked so I am.

      Yet 99.99999% of drivers will not be caught doing 35 in a 30 or 65 in a 60.

      Correction: People speeding may be hit with fines, but let’s be honest, they won’t be because enforcement is low.

      Because soooooo many people die in suburbia on 50km roads. Most of it is Single Vehicle Accidents on rural roads at 2am

      Anything but enforcing the limits that are there already.

      Is this not just cork/galwaybeo nonsense? More sensationalist nonsense from a blog masquerading as a news site.

      Yes, obviously people speeding may get speeding fines. Shocking news.

      If half of this countries laws were enforced we wouldn’t need the other half!

      It seems to be an Irish solution to people ignoring speed limits, introduce even  lower limits so people can ignore them as well.

      This will definitely lead to more deaths. Increasing overtaking because limits are not realistic will cause more accidents and create apathy to all speed limits.

      There are 3 main classes of local road. Primary (2 lane), secondary (narrow give and take) and tertiary (boreen). Local primary roads shouldn’t be included.

      Jack chambers should be ashamed for a blatant populist idea at the time. He isn’t a road safety engineer and is getting advice from the RSA who have NO road safety engineers. Whole idea needs reversing.

      It’s really very simple and it comes down to physics.

      1. Slower speeds allow for reduced braking distance which allows for the avoidance of collisions
      2. Objects colliding at lower speeds do not have as severe outcomes as those colliding at higher speeds

      Ye can argue all you want but you will not change those points.

      Anyone wanting to know future changes which are also coming should review the Road Safety strategy documents available on the RSA site.

      The reduced speed limits are only 1,tiny element, of the changes to come.

      Friendly reminder that reducing obesity by 1% would save as many lives as reducing road deaths to zero.

      Irks me how much air time road deaths get compared to other (far more prominent) causes.

      Sorry, has everyone seen the videos of the young lads on scramblers driving all over the road infront of Gardaí. I’ve also seen all the videos of drivers breaking red lights on another sub-reddit. I know speed kills and all that but….can’t help but feel this was low hanging fruit to look busy.

      This is more to do with revenue raising,than road safety

      How many crashes happen on main roads between 80-99KPH?….why is everything done arseways here😓

    17. martyc5674 on

      Are they changing any signage? There’s a lot if 80 signage out there.

      Fuck it, go the whole hog and ban private automotive transport if zero road deaths is the aim?
