Public roads to which special speed limits apply are specified in the Third, Fourth and Fifth Schedules.
The Regulations declare that the roads mentioned in the Second Schedule, which would otherwise be outside the scope of the built-up area speed limit of 30 m.p.h., shall be subject to that limit.
The Regulations prescribe a speed limit of 40 m.p.h. in respect of the public roads mentioned in the Third Schedule, a speed limit of 50 m.p.h. in respect of the public roads mentioned in the Fourth Schedule.
Ambulances, fire brigade vehicles and Garda Síochána vehicles while being used in the course of duty are excepted from all speed limits by the Regulations.
