AA: 30 kilometre speed limits will be introduced in urban areas eventually
The Love 30 campaign is calling on the Oireachtas to introduce the measure as part of new road traffic legislation.
The AA's Barry Aldworth, says all the data suggests the move is the right way to proceed;
"There's a huge benefit in protecting vulnerable road users. And even for motorists who might hear this and think well my journey couldn't be longer. The data doesn't show that to be the case. 30 kilometre an hour zones actually allow traffic to flow better. Now the only concern about introducing it as a default is changing behaviour is that much harder."
