It’s expected the speed limit on one of Clare’s national secondary roads will be reduced from 100 to 80km/h in the near future.
As of the implementation of the speed limit review at the beginning of November, the default speed limit on all local and rural roads has dropped from 80 to 60km/h while urban roads are down to 30km/h.

The West Clare Municipal District has said it believes the speed limit on the N67’s speed limit will be reduced to 80km/h, and Councillor Shannon believes this can’t come quick enough.
