Rules Of The Road In Ireland
· The first thing to remember is that you will be driving on the left hand side of the road. If you are travelling from the UK this is no problem! However if you are coming from the USA and many other countries you will have to adapt to driving on the left.
· When driving on Irish roads, and when it is safe to do so, overtake on the right hand side only.
· Please note that all distances and speed limits are measured in metric (kilometers per hour) in the Republic of Ireland compared to the UK and the USA. Bear this in mind if you are going across the border into Northern Ireland. Road distances on signs are measured in kilometers in the Irish Republic too.
· When coming to a roundabout, you must at all times yield to traffic that is coming from the right.
· Speed limit on Irish motorways is 120 km/h. Speed limits on National roads is either 80km/h or 100 km/h but pay heed when you pass through a village, town or urban areas the speed limit is usually reduced to 50 or 60 km/h.
· Remember to adapt your road speed to the driving conditions, such as falling rain, the presence of fog, frost or snow.
· You are required by Irish law to carry your drivers’ licence with you at all times when driving.
· Always wear your seatbelt when driving or if you are a passenger in the vehicle. The ruling applies to front and rear passengers. Child safety restraints and seats are also required by Irish law.
· The minimum driving age in Ireland is 17 years of age.
· It is a criminal offence to drive or be in charge of a vehicle if you have more than 80 milligrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood.
· Regulatory signs show the course a driver must follow and an action they are required to take or not permitted to take. In general they are circular and typically have a red border and black symbols or letters on a background that is white.
· Warning signs are yellow with a black border and identify the hazards ahead that drivers may face on the road, such as a level crossing ahead, sharp ascent ahead or a series of sharp bends ahead.

Yield Sign $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In road transport, a YIELD (Canada, Ireland, and the United States) or GIVE WAY (Hong Kong and most Commonwealth countries) traffic sign indicates that a vehicle driver must prepare to stop if necessary to let a driver on another approach proceed (but has no need to stop if his way is clear). A driver who stops has yielded his right of way to another. In contrast, a stop sign always requires a complete stop. The first yield sign was installed in Tulsa, Oklahoma, having been devised and designed by Tulsan police officer Clinton Riggs. Riggs invented only the sign, not the rule, which was already in place. Despite Oklahoma being landlocked, it is sometimes suggested the rule was made by analogy to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea. The sign as originally conceived by Officer Riggs was shaped like a keystone; later versions bore the shape of an inverted equilateral triangle which has been almost universally adopted. With the pole, the overall shape is that of the Y in YIELD, which has been noted mainly by teachers of the English language. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.
