DOZENS of rural roads across Co Donegal will have speed limits reduced - with many currently at 100km/hr being reduced to just 60km/hr. An NRA audit hopes to address:Advertisement- Speed limits such as 80kmh on boreens with grass growing up the middle. - Speed limits that are too slow, such as 60kmh on a straight stretch of dual carriageway with two miles of clear visibility ahead. - The wrong speed limit in the wrong place, such as an 80kmh sign at a dangerous corner on a country road. - Areas where there are too many speed signs, leading to confusion about the true speed limit.
