Clare motorists could soon be forced to slow down on some of the county's busiest roads.
The Council is pushing ahead with a review of speed limits, after it carried out a review of existing speed limits on Clare’s 4,000 kilometre road network.
The plan will be on display at Aras Contae an Chlár and members of the public will be invited to have their say during an ongoing public consultation phase.
Among the proposed changes to speed limits throughout the county is a reduction in the speed limit from 100 km/h to 80 km/h on the N67 from the Galway border to Killimer, an increase in the speed limit from 80km/h to 100 km/h on the N19 between Shannon Town and the Shannon Industrial Estate, and an increase in the speed limit from 80 km/h to 100 km/h on a section of the R-352 Ennis to Portumna Rd.
The Draft Bye Laws also propose speed limit reductions of 10 km/h from 60 km/h to 50 km/h on the L-3040-0 at Bunratty Folk Park and on the school road in Parteen, while the 80 km/h speed limit in force on the road network between Kilbaha to Loop Head as well as at Barrtra and the Ballykeelaun Rd in Parteen will be replaced with new Rural Speed Limit Designations.
