Kildare County Council has issued notice that it intends to reduce the speed limit on a section of the R448 from Moone to Timolin, writes Brian Byrne. The move is to facilitate the construction of the National Cycle Network (NCN) R448 Moone Timolin Project.

The new limit will apply from 26 August 2025 to 19 December 2025.

The €1.6 million pilot project has generated intense criticism from local residents and cyclists on safety and congestion issues, as well as from the Association of Farm and Forestry Contractors.

Objections or observations on the speed limit proposal can be lodged in writing to the Senior Executive Officer, Transport, Mobility and Open Spaces at KCC's HQ in Naas or directly at consult.kildarecoco.ie/en on or before 5pm on 18 August 2025.
