    Stretches of the N1 and N2 have had 120 km/h speed limits on sections for quite some time; in the case of the N2 since May 2006 and there hasn't been any safety risk(well if there was we'd have heard about it ages ago) so I don't see what the fuss is about the Ballincollig bypass.

    It would be nice if they did make it a motorway, but in the meantime the upgrading of the road to a 120 km/h limit is an excellent idea, and just because it's illegal for people to go cycling on a Motorway doesn't mean that they won't.

    About freaking time - it was supposed to happen in Sept 2007! They've changed the law so a road doesn't have to be given motorway status in order to have a 120k speed limit. The East Cork Parkway is supposed to be getting this limit (as far as Carrigtwohill) too.


    As of yesterday the East Cork Parkway - Tunnel to Carrigtwohill has been increased to 120KM/H without Motorway restrictions.

    Saw the new signs out since Friday with black plastic over them. Would have been sick to have been caught doing 120k over the weekend....

    This is absolutely idiotic without motorway restrictions. Having cyclists, tractors and people walking dogs mixed with 120kmh traffic is bone headed.
    they invoke the special speed limit rule that local authoritys can, it saves money to do this as to make it a motorway needs a ministerial order and is a very long drawn out process according to the national roads authority office.:)
