Motorways links Dublin with Dundalk in the north (M1), Maynooth in the west (M4) and Kildare in the south (M7). Beyond these destinations major roads vary in quality, and driving can be slow in rural areas. Driving is on the left and speed limits vary from 70 mph (110 kph) on motorways to 60 mph (91 kph) on open roads and 30 mph (50 kph) in built-up areas. Distances on road signs are usually given in kilometres, but speed limits are given in miles per hour. Place names are always given in Gaelic and English. Fuel is significantly cheaper in the Republic than in the UK: unleaded petrol costs around E0.88 per litre. You should book your hire vehicle in advance, particularly in the summer months.
