Section 9 of the Road Traffic Act 2004 sets out the range of special speed limits that may be applied by local authorities through bye-laws. This legislation is kept under review by my Department on an ongoing basis. There are, however, currently no proposals to provide for a 40km per hour special speed limit option in addition to the 50kmph and 30kmph options that are currently provided for.
