Speed Limits/Distances —
Over the past few years all new city, village and town signs
in the Republic have had their distance stated in kms (kilometres)
instead of miles. From January 2005 the speed limits have
also been changed to kms and instead of a typical town speed
being 30 mph it is now 50 kmh. (The speed signs state km/h
so people are not confused with the old "mph" signs
and go faster than they should)
All new cars will have their speedometer s only in kilometres.
You will have to remember that if you rent a car in
the Republic and take it across the border that the speedometer
will not show the speed in mph if it is a 2005 model. Distances
and speed limits remain in mph in Northern Ireland.
