Rural Speed Limits February 2025

On the 7th of February 2025, speed limits on all rural local county roads in Co. Wexford will reduce from 80km/h to 60 km/h.

This change will make Ireland’s roads safer for motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, and all road users. Reducing speed can significantly increase the chance of survival in the event of a traffic collision, and lowering speed limits on Ireland’s road network will save lives.

The legal meaning of the Rural Speed Limit Sign and as it appears in the Rules of the Road has been amended from an alternative to the 80km/h sign (previously the Default speed limit on Rural Local Roads) to the 60km/h sign (the new Default speed limit on Rural Local Roads).

The Speed Limit on all other roads in Co. Wexford will remain at their current level including Motorways, National Roads (e.g. N11, N25, N30, N80) and Regional Roads (e.g. R733, R741, R745 etc).

Any queries regarding Speed Limits in County Wexford should be directed to Wexford County Council Roads Department on (053) 9196000 or by E-Mail to speedlimits@wexfordcoco.ie
