New Kilmeaden Speed Limits

Have you seen the new 50 kph speed limits from the sweep pub halfway to the Holy Cross?
Whats that about?
Is it just to put the speed camera van location into a 50 kph zone?
It's so stupid that no one is paying any attention to it.
80 kph was fine there.

Thought it was 80 passing there earlier heading in city direction...electronic sign I thought said 50, then after small bit saw 2 fixed signs saying 80,I was surprised with electronic 50 sign, but the two 80 signs are just gone in so guessed someone put the wrong electronic message in?
