Speed limits will be reduced from 80km/h to 60km/h from Friday the 7th of February in an effort to reduce road fatalities 🚘🛣️
🚗Later in the year, the speed limit on national secondary roads will go from 100km/h to 80km/h and the speed limit in urban cores will be reduced from 50km/h to 30km/h.

💰If caught driving over the speed limit, you will be issued three penalty points and a €160 fine.
