ROAD TRAFFIC SPECIAL SPEED LIMIT BYE-LAWS 2010

In accordance with Section 9 of the Road Traffic Act 2004, and in the interests of road safety, Kilkenny County Council has made Special Speed Limit Bye-Laws, effective from 1st June 2010 in respect of various towns and villages throughout County Kilkenny. In the case of the R712 (old N10) between Kilkenny and Paulstown and the R448 (old N9) between Paulstown and Woodquarter, the commencement date is 1st October 2010 i.e. following the opening of the M9 between Danesfort and Powerstown.

The Bye-Laws are necessary as a consequence of the growth of the towns and villages involved. The purpose of the Bye-Laws is to provide for special speed limits of 100km/h, 80km/h, 60km/h, 50km/h and 30km/h on the sections of roads specified in the Third to Eight Schedule of the Bye-Laws in the interest of prudent traffic management and road safety.

The main additional features of the Bye-Laws over and above previously adopted Bye-Laws of 2008 include the following:
