Single lane roads, with no room to pass someone, to wide roads with a 8 foot shoulder. But through it all the speed is 80km/h on all roads and 100km/h on most. In the towns and villages you slow down to 60 or 50 for a km or two.

As I returned the car I was told people in the west don't park their cars they abandon them.

We drove around County Mayo, County Galway and County Clare. We stayed in Westport in the north and drove as far south as the Cliffs of Moher. As you can see from the map we spent a lot of time driving in the West.

The driving portion of our trip was thanks to Tim Hastings VW. As there are no rental car companies in Westport we were thrilled to discover that Tim Hastings rented cars. 🚗 (A surprisingly accurate emoji!)
