The GENERAL SPEED LIMIT in the Irish Republic seems to have been reduced on this sign which is older than the County Cavan sigh, I suspect. The <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_speed_limits_in_the_Republic_of_Ireland' rel='nofollow'>55mph General Speed Limit in Ireland</a> was introduced in 1979 as a response to the energy crisis, and raised back to 60 mph in 1990-2. Prior to 1969, there had been a top speed limit of 50mph, except for certain built up areas,where 40 or 30 was appropriate. In 1992 also, the General Speed Limit was excepted for motorways, where the maximum was raised to 70mph. Since January 2005, all maxmimum speeds in the Irish Republic are in km/h, viz 120, 100 80 50 and so on.
In some ways, the irish limit paralleled the US <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Maximum_Speed_Law' rel='nofollow'>National Maximum Speed Law</a> between 1974 and 1987 of 55mph.
THere was no control of any sort at this border crossing.
The bridge linking Belcoo to Blacklion - looking south
The Dungannon bypass, Stangmore (1980-2) showed the view towards Ballygawley from the eastern bridge on the Stangmore roundabout. This view is in the same direction from the western bridge. The line was built with the intention of providing a motorway but, at the time of the photograph, a single-carriageway bypass was under construction (visible in the background). It opened in October 1980.
The Maguiresbridge bypass (1980) Part of the Belfast/Ballygawley – Enniskillen road, bypassing Maguiresbridge on the northern side, about to cross the Colebrook River. I cannot find the opening date but it’s thought to have been during the late 1960’s when money was plentiful and many motorways and new all-purpose roads were built.
