It requires speed limits of 20 km/h and 30 km/h in home zones and slow zones

Jake's Law will be automatically introduced to certain estates in Athy, on completion of the county-wide speed limit review.

The law requires speed limits of 20 km/h and 30 km/h in home zones and slow zones

The review is underway, and is  examining the limits on all roads in the county under KCC's auspices.

The council held a public consultation on the review, finishing last month,  and received 290 submissions.

Jake's Law can only be implemented upon creation of new by-laws, which will be the culmination of the speed limit review.
