A speed limit is only good and valid if there is somebody to police it. Imposing a speed limit on an estate will not necessarily slow traffic but traffic calming measures will slow motorists down. As Senator O’Neill said, there will be places where ramps and so on cannot be introduced. Some ramps in Killarney are not wide enough meaning only half the car travels over them, which is almost worse. Many people have complained about them. Traffic calming measures have to be introduced in conjunction with the new speed limits on estates.
