    Forgive my ignorance, as someone who lives in cities where speed limits are regularly over 110kph, is 30 kph not painful slow?

      It’s been the speed limit in Dublin city centre now for some time. The logic is that collisions with humans are rarely fatal at that speed. Tbh it is slow but you’re not exactly going fast within the city limits in old European cities anyway.

      Outside the city it’s normal speed limits here. 50 in towns. 80 most places. 120 on the motorway.

      Edit: that’s 30 / 50 / 75 in mph
