Driving on the Dingle Peninsula
Speed limits and road signs
In Ireland speed limits and road distances are measured in kilometres.
The main speed limits in force in the peninsula are:
- 50 kph (31.1 mph): in built-up areas.
- 60 kph (37.3 mph): a "special" limit applied in certain areas such as narrow bridges or outside schools.
- 80 kph (49.7 mph): for local and regional routes. This applies to the majority of roads outside of built-up areas.
- 100 kph (62.2 mph): for national routes. This only apples in the peninsula to the main N86 Dingle-Tralee road outside of built-up areas.
Petrol (gasoline) stations
There are a limited number of petrol stations on the peninsula. In particular, it should be noted that there are no fuel stations west of Dingle. Therefore, drivers should ensure that their vehicle has sufficient fuel before beginning a journey such as driving the Slea Head Drive.
In Europe petrol is measured in litres. 1 litre is equivalent to 0.26 U.S. gallons, or 0.21 U.K. gallons.
