Donegal County Council Launches Speed Limit Consultation

Donegal County Council has launched a county‑wide public consultation on proposed changes to urban speed limits. The review will focus on roads that currently carry restrictions of 60 km/h or lower, and it invites input from residents, businesses and other stakeholders across Co Donegal. The initiative follows guidance issued by the Department of Transport and is intended to ensure any revised limits are based on safety evidence and local traffic conditions.

The consultation opened on Monday, giving communities an opportunity to comment on whether existing speed limits should be lowered, maintained or increased. Council officials say they will consider all submissions before making recommendations for changes that could affect streets in towns such as Letterkenny, Ballyshannon and Killybegs. The process is part of a broader effort to align local road safety measures with national transport policy.

While the council has not yet set a timetable for when any new limits might be implemented, it has indicated that feedback will be reviewed over several weeks. Those wishing to contribute can submit their views through the council’s online portal or by contacting the traffic management team directly.
