Local authorities to implement 30km/h speed limits in urban areas ‘where appropriate’ from 2027
www.thejournal.ie
Speed limits on roads in built-up and urban areas can only be changed where a majority of the elected members in a local authority vote to do so.

    You need close to three times (2.78) the energy for accelerating to 50 instead of 30.
    If you have to brake, that energy gets converted to heat.
    Rinse and repeat.
    Especially in urban areas where there’s alot of acceleration/deceleration - or just acceleration with different algebraic signs - more speed means more fuel per distance.
