Speed limits

Speed limits in Ireland are shown in km/h on road signs with a white background and red border, and they vary by road type. Speed limits are expressed in km/hr through distinctive road signs throughout the country. These signs are found on every motorway and on major roads and minor roads throughout County Galway and consist of a circular sign with a white background and a red border. The speed limit is shown in the centre of the sign in black numerals (i.e. 30, 40, 60, etc.).
