Mr. Derek Brady:

Our analysis in this report was largely confined to interventions on speed limits on the national road network. Through our work, however, we realised that the speed limits on national roads cannot just be changed because that impacts traffic diverting to regional roads, former national roads and single-carriageway roads. We are working with the Department and the NTA on a more holistic analysis looking at speed limit reductions across all networks, the impact on road safety and emissions and enabling active travel.
