Links fahren!


This was spotted on Google Streetview. It's funny, 'cause there used to be a similar sign on the tiny bóithrín that my sister lived on during her first year in college. Her road, An Sruthán, was located about a kilometre short of An Cheathrú Rua itself. Galway County Council had, in their eternal wisdom, put a 60kmph speed limit on the road betweeen Casla and An Cheathrú Rua, despite it being a good quality, paved, national secondary route. To turn onto An Sruthán, a driver must come around a bend, stop, and then turn right at a 110 degree angle (backing on to oneself) over a small humpback bridge, onto a boithrín with grass growing in the middle. As this meant that the driver had left the main road, which had a 60kmph speed limit, they were greeted by two shiny signs on either sign of the grassy lane which proudly proclaimed 80kmph!
