    SPEED LIMITS
    The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) has made a Statutory Rule entitled “The Roads (Speed Limit) (No. 3) Order (Northern Ireland) 2025” (S.R. 2025 No. 157) which comes into operation on 16th October 2025.

    The Rule will–
    • apply a 30 miles per hour speed limit to a length of Drumbo Road, Drumbo. This length of road is not a restricted road (street lighting has not been installed) and a 30mph restriction is necessary given the increase in the number of new developments accessed from this length of road.
    • apply a 40 miles per hour speed limit to a length of McKinstry Road and Wilmar Road, Derriaghy. A reduction to the current speed limit will ensure it is consistent with other reductions in speed limits within the area and improve road safety.
    • de-restrict a length of Gardiners Cross Road, Enniskillen so that the national speed limit applies. This length of road does not meet the criteria for a 30mph speed limit restriction even though street lighting was installed.
    • revoke existing speed limits relating to Drumbo Road, McKinstry Road and Wilmar Road so that the speed limits specified above can take effect.
    Vehicles are excepted from the restrictions in certain circumstances.
    A copy of the Rule may be viewed at DfI offices during office hours (Monday to Friday 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m.) by appointment only. Appointments can be arranged either by telephone on 0300 200 2899. The Rule may also be viewed online at http://www.legislation.gov.uk/nisr
