Plans to cut speed limits to 30km/h on almost all residential streets throughout Dublin city and suburbs have been approved by the city council’s transport committee. Ten years ago the council lowered speed limits in the shopping and central business area of the city from 50km/h to 30km/h. Last May, 10 more suburbs were added to the 30km/h zone. This would affect parts of Long Mile Road, Slievebloom Park, Chapelizod Road, Howth Road, Griffith Avenue, Seamus Ennis Road, Terenure Road East and Clareville Road East. Following the addition of the new zones just a handful of suburbs will remain outside the 30km/h zone.
