    Makes sense. Less chance of getting stuck in traffic due to crashes, less killed, safer roads for everyone....if people adhere to a 30kph limit. Win/win for all.

    ETA: I have a recollection of reading somewhere that the average speed in the city was less than 30kph anyway.

    Thanks for the update, I added my two cents, as a majority cyclist (When in Dublin I cycle every day between D22 and D18, 54k a day) I think its silly that someone making decisions of motoring in Dublin without any experience of it himself. He has always been trying to implement silly laws like this to screw over the majority to suit himself for a while now. Even using the corona situation to try and push it (Slime ball).

    Average speed is irrelevant because for several hours a day when most vehicles are on the road the average speed is probably way less than 30kph, you can walk faster than traffic, but outside rush hour the average speed is much higher and even in the current 30 zones even Dublin Bus drivers ignore it.
    People regularly ignore the 50kph limits. I've been over and under taken doing 50kph by GPS and have been left for dead in 30 zones, all housing estates in South Dublin are 30kph. But as they don't enforce it people ignore the limits and the unaccountable civil/public servants can continue to make laws that are ineffective.

    Don't worry he'll soon have Dublin like Dún Laoghaire and then move up to do the same to the rest of the country.
