Tipperary County Council opposes lowering national speed limits in Ireland to address road safety concerns.

Tipperary County Council in Ireland opposed national legislation to lower speed limits on most roads, citing concerns it could worsen traffic issues. The Road Traffic Bill 2024 reduces limits on secondary roads from 100 km/h to 80 km/h, rural roads from 80 km/h to 60 km/h, and urban areas from 50 km/h to 30 km/h. Despite the council's objections, the first phase will start next month, with local input on later phases. The government aims to enhance road safety following fatal accidents.
