Galway city speed limit changes to come in as planned on August 28th

Galway Bay fm newsroom – Speed limit changes on some Galway city roads will come into effect as planned on August 28th.

Roads that are within the new 30 km/h zone include the following:

  • College Road
  • Bohermore
  • Headford Road (from Bodkin Junction to Woodquay)
  • University Road
  • Henry Street
  • Sea Road
  • Munster Avenue

There are also speed limits increases on certain roads – including sections of Bothar na dTreabh, the Tuam Road, and Quinncentennial Bridge.

The City Council has confirmed all appropriate speed limit signage will be in place before August 28th.
