Tallaght speed limits are the same as the national speed limits in Ireland, which you'll need to be aware of when driving around. If you're driving through the centre of the suburb or in any built-up area, stick to the speed limit of 50 km/h, even if other drivers are going quicker or honking at you. Regional roads on the outskirts of Tallaght vary between 80 km/h and 100 km/h depending on the kind of road. Look out for signposts indicating the limit. When driving along a major motorway or highway, the speed limit will be 120 km/h. These limits change regularly, especially when approaching towns and suburbs, so be aware of signposts along the way.

Most parking spaces are Park & Display parking sections that require you to get a ticket when you enter and pay for the parking before going back to your car. The Square in the town centre has ample paid parking available and some of which offers free parking for the first two hours.
