Donegal County Council has undertaken a speed limit review of all public roads in towns, villages and settlements with an existing speed limit of 60km/h or lower.
These speed limits have been assessed in accordance with the Department of Transport guidelines and proposed changes recommended.
The Council is running a 2-week non-statutory consultation period including drop in events in each Municipal District to facilitate public feedback on the proposals. Proposals which include the introduction of several 30km/h Urban Zones will be presented on colour coded maps.
Consultation Details:
9am Monday 12th May – 9am Monday 26th May 2025
All consultation material will be available at the consultation portal –https://consult.donegal.ie/en/consultation/urban-speed-limit-review-2025
Feedback on the proposals can be made via the portal, by post or by email speedlimitreview@donegalcoco.ie
Drop in events will set out details of all proposed changes to current urban speed limits within the county and our team will be available to discuss issues and provide assistance to members of the public. Information leaflets will be available, and you can make submissions or observations on the day regarding the review. Drop in events will take place as follows:
