    Take notice that Cork City Council proposes to make the above-entitled Bye-Laws in respect of public roads within the City of Cork in exercise of the powers conferred on it by Section 9 of the Road Traffic Act 2004. The purpose of the proposed Bye-Laws is to consolidate existing byelaws within City administrative area and to update speed limits as outlined below.

    Following a review of National Roads by Transport Infrastructure Ireland these Byelaws seek to introduce revised 60, 80 and 100kph special speed limits on National Roads within the City Boundary.

    These byelaws also seek to introduce a 60 kph special speed limit on sections of the R635 (North Ring Road) and special speed limits of 30kph in residential areas in the vicinity of; Ashdale Park, Ashleigh, Berlingford Drive, Cherry Lawn, Clontarf Estate, Deanrock, Douglas Hall Lawn, Gate Lodge, Larchfield, Lima Lawn, Loreto Park, McCurtain Villas, Middle Parish, Mourne Avenue, Rosepark, Shanakiel, Silverdale, Silversprings, Woodbrook.

    A copy of the draft Cork City Road Traffic (Special Speed Limit) Bye- Laws 2017 will be available for public inspection during the period of Friday the 12th of May to Monday the 12th of June 2017 between the hours of 9am and 5pm at the Reception Desk, City Hall, Anglesea Street, Cork and during opening hours at all Cork City Council Libraries.

    Submissions on the draft Bye-Laws may be made in writing to the Transportation Division, Room 114, City Hall, Cork, before 5pm on Monday the 12th of June 2017.

    Dated this 12th day of May 2017

    That is a very specific list of estates getting a 30kmph speed limit....wonder what the reaon for that is. Pleanty of other estates right next to them which are not getting it...why not all or nothing?

    At a guess, it makes it look like they are taking action now. The can then can role it out again in the future to newer estates and make it look like they are taking actions again.
    I'm more interested in how they are going to enforce it; which is really when you take action. The above is just paper work, easy to do. Lets see if they do the real work and ensure it's actually complied with.

    The change to 60kph on the R635, isn't that marked mainly as 50kph? Haven't been on it in quite a while (usually bypass it).

    60km/h on the North Ring Road makes sense, it's very difficult to adhere to the limit on that road especially at night (when it's not choked with traffic).

    What roads do TII propose changing the limit on? Cork is the one city left with national roads deep into the city, the Western Road, Lower Glanmire Road, South City Link & Blackpool bypass.
