Speed limit changes, as part of the national review, are to be presented to Galway city councillors this month, ahead of a public consultation.
The 30km/hour speed limit zones within Galway City are to be extended to all public roads within housing estates, and all roads around school entrances.
First introduced in 2023, the 30km limit will also apply to on roads classed as having more vulnerable road users, such as Ballyloughane and Silverstrand
The specifics for the by-laws are due to be finalised by the end of October, with an implementation deadline set for the end of March next year.
City Councillor Declan McDonnell told Sarah Slevin that speed limits are all well and good, but there aren't enough enforcement measures
Meanwhile Fianna Fáil Councillor Alan Cheevers says we really need to study whether these speed limits are actually effective
