The public roads passing through the town of Dunboyne are regional or local roads. 

The default speed limits for different categories of road, including roads in built up urban areas,  are specified in the Road Traffic Act 2004.  There is provision in Section 9 of that Act for local authorities to make bye-laws providing for special speed limits in specific circumstances.
