    Hi lads,

    While travelling between Macroom and Dunmanway I travelled along a section of the R585 where the speed limit signs read 100km/h

    Were these correct as it was a regional road? Seemed strange to me, never seen a 100km/h R road before

    Thanks

    I was under the assumption all R roads were 80km/h.

    I know R roads far better than this road and it didn't strike me as one that would be one of the best R roads (very bumpy, narrow and windy)

    Newland Cross to Naas. Three lane highway 100 km/H

    Mitchelstown to Mallow, disaster of a road, much double white line 100km/h.

    I was only thinking the same lately it's absolutely ridiculous given the state of the road plus a lot of car's travelling way to fast on it..

    The 'national route' between Glengarriff and Killarney, marked as 100 !

    The 100 sign just before you hit Youghal Bridge from the Waterford side, if you were not familiar with the road !
