Road Safety
Dail Éireann — 2023-06-22
============================================================

Marc Ó Cathasaigh (GP), Waterford

As I understand it, a review of the framework for setting speed limits is under way. I ask about the specific consideration of introducing a 30 km/h default speed limit in urban areas. This would improve road safety, the uptake of active travel and reduce road deaths. It also has an emissions impact. It is one of the measures outlined in the RSA Action Plan 2021-2024. Where do we stand with that?
