SPEED limit bye-laws in Kerry should be fully implemented as soon as possible, according Anluan Dunne, chairperson of the Kerry branch of the Green Party.

The speed limit review was finalised in early 2019 but two years on the bye-laws enacting 30 km/h limits are still not completely enacted in Tralee and Killarney town centres.

“To create safer town centres Kerry County Council took the proactive step of reducing the speed limit to 30 km/h,” says Mr. Dunne. “We now need to see the signs go up and road stencilling completed to advise motorists of the lower, safer, speed limit.”

Mr Dunne has asked the Gardaí to enforce lower speed limits when resources allowed. “We need to see high-visibility policing of lower speed limits to tackle anti-social vehicle use and reduce fatalities and make our streets welcoming again,” he added.

    Get cyclists off the footpaths and obey Traffic lights. Electric bikes and scooters have to be insured, taxed and tested. Safety before Greenness.

    Paddy Cronin is correct.

    I have solved this problem for once and for all!
    What we need to do is replace the Gardaí with Ostriches?
