The provisions in the Road Traffic Act 2004 relating to the application of default, special or roadworks speed limits do not make any reference to lit or unlit roads. The members of each city council and each county council have power to apply a special speed limit in lieu of a default speed limit at any location where is it considered that it is appropriate to do so. The exercise of that power is subject to the consent of the National Roads Authority in the case of a proposal relating to a national road and to consultation with the Garda authorities.
