Road Safety: Motion.
Many Senators referred to the number of people caught speeding in areas where the 30 mph limit applies. The National Roads Authority will shortly publish a survey which illustrates that 99% of people in Ireland do not adhere to the 30 mph speed limit. This means that only 1% of drivers adhere to the speed limit. We need to take a real look at this and decide whether we want to have a 30 mph speed limit. Some people will say it is hard to adhere to such a limit because it is too low.
