98 Mr. Currie asked the Minister for the Environment if he will outline the useful purposes being served by 40 mph and 30 mph speed limits on the Chapelizod by-pass, Dublin 20; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
The 30 mph limit covers a small stretch of the by-pass at a complex junction which is governed by traffic signals. The speed limit of 40 mph on the remainder of the by-pass was determined prior to its opening, taking account of the recommendations made to the Minister by the authorities concerned. The operation of that limit will be kept under review.
