While the Road Traffic Act 2004 sets default speed limits for various categories of roads, elected members of local authorities, have statutory responsibility for deciding on and making appropriate Special Speed Limit bye-laws for roads within their administrative area, and in the case of national roads, subject to the consent of Transport Infrastructure Ireland.
