Why 30km/h?

It’s not only a road safety issue, lower speed limits also: The Love 30 Campaign calls on all Local Authorities to introduce more 30km/h zones in urban areas, but particularly in town centres, residential estates, and in the vicinity of schools and places of public assembly. And we call on Dublin City Council to introduce a default 30km/h limit within the canals. A leaflet from the Road Safety Authority shows how lower speed limits dramatically reduce the number of people killed in collisions. They also reduce the severity of injury in any collisions that occur.
