Traffic calming sign

Traffic calming sign

You are entering an area with traffic calming measures, such as ramps or narrowings, and a lower speed limit.

Advance Direction Signs

What should you do?

Reduce your speed to the limit shown and expect speed ramps, chicanes and pedestrians.

How to recognise it

A grey panel with the place name Cluain Dolcáin / CLONDALKIN, a red-ringed 30 km/h sign and Ceansú Tráchta / TRAFFIC CALMING.

Common confusion

The 30 km/h on this panel is a speed limit, not an advisory speed.

Explanation written by the My Driving Test editorial team using the Department of Transport Traffic Signs Manual conventions and the RSA Rules of the Road.
