    A lot of the "non-housing-estate" roads are left 50, even though they're quiet residential routes : In Skerries the lanes from south shore out to the street,
    All the lanes around South Shore road in Rush,
    The single lane wide roads in Lusk - at the Bottom shop, hands lane, Barrack Lane, Church lane should be 30

    Swords Main st also
