Well as far as I know, we are obliged to not exceed the posted speed limit on the particular road that a sign is on, therefore if it's an 80 km, then that's the limit surely ?With the new speed limits coming into play end of the week will the authorities have the new signs up in all these places in time?
I’m confused on some roads as to whether they are changing speed limits on them or not.
Well that’s what one would expect- but I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere that the signage for the new limits will be rolled out and implemented by a particular date - or not as the case may be.Well as far as I know, we are obliged to not exceed the posted speed limit on the particular road that a sign is on, therefore if it's an 80 km, then that's the limit surely ?
I know the talk is all 80's are gone to 60's but surely not until the actual signage has been changed

It will be totally worth it if it saves lives.Everyone on reddit and tiktok are losing their minds over it
If a section of road is not signposted correctly per then new arrangement you'd expect that the gardai would go as far as only warning motorists of the change- unless someone of course is tearing the hole out of it.Going by this, I foresee a lot of court cases if the signs on the roads are not updated :
