Section 8.3 - Speed limits - Ireland rules of the road
Signed speed limits set the maximum speed at which vehicles may legally travel on a section of road between speed limit signs, assuming the vehicles are not restricted in any way.

The signs indicate the maximum speed at which your vehicle may travel on a particular road or stretch of road, not the required speed for the road.

There are two types of speed limit:

speed limits that apply to roads, and
speed limits that apply to certain types of vehicles.
