		And while Ireland is a tiny country by comparison, and distances between places are relatively short, the roads in the countryside can be so narrow and winding that getting from A to B rarely takes as little time as it looks.
		Getting used to left-side driving, left-handed stick shift, narrow roads, and a new landscape are enough for the driver to manage, not to mention having to find his or her way to a destination, so it's helpful if you can have somebody along as a navigator.
		In addition, a recent change has replaced many of the large English-language road signs with small, hard-to-read bilingual signs in which the Gaelic words are easier to read than the English (much to the annoyance of the local population, as well as visitors).

	Road speed limits in the Republic of Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Road speed limits in the Republic of Ireland apply on all public roads in the country.
		Smaller "repeater" speed limit signs are used along stretches of road where there is no change in speed limit, in order to remind motorists currently on the road and to inform traffic merging from junctions that a certain speed limit applies.
		Another controversial issue is that by-passed roads which had formed part of the national primary road network such as the old N1 (R132), old N2 (R135) and N4 (R148) are downgraded to regional status (without change in engineering specification) and accordingly have their speed limit reduced to 80 km/h.
