After the recent upturn in Road Traffic Accident fatalities the Minister for State is recommending to local councils that speed limits be reduced.
The problem is some roads (see link) aren't suitable for even half the speed legally permitted on the road sign, while other good wide roads are restricted too much which can cause frustration and tempt people to break the rules.
There should be an engineering assessment of roads and not let councils do a blanket "one size fits all" in certain categories.
And any place that has had a serious accident should de facto have an investigation and would need a very sound engineering reason why the speeds should not be reduced there.
