<p>The Department has provided guidance to traffic authorities in the Speed Limit
Circular 01/2013- Setting Local Speed Limits. This encourages traffic authorities
to keep speed limits under review, and to consider lower speed limits than the default,
especially where there may be a relatively high number of bends, junctions or accesses.</p><p>
</p><p>Consideration of collision history, road function, mix of road users including
presence of vulnerable road users, road geometry, engineering and environment, and
actual traffic speed should enable traffic authorities to determine the appropriate
limit on rural roads.</p>
