Signs advertising the 80km/h speed limit will be removed from narrow country roads and replaced by the old system of signage which will become known as the "rural speed limit".
A removal of so-called "silly speed limits" in dangerous places, a five-year audit of every speed limit in the country and a process to allow the public to appeal limits will also be introduced.
It follows an examination by an expert group.
Many roads in rural Ireland, often in bad condition, have speed limits of 80km/h, while the top speed on sections of many newer, larger and safer dual carriageways can be as low as 60km/h.
Last year, Minister for Transport Leo Varadkar asked the Speed Limits Working Group to examine the issue.
It has made several significant recommendations, which the minister has accepted.
It means 80km/h signs on small rural roads and laneways will be replaced by new "rural speed limit" signs.
The new signs will have a black circle with a diagonal line, similar to those used in Ireland before 2004. However, the limit will remain 80km/h.
The new signs are intended to indicate to motorists to use their own judgement on the speed they take.
The Automobile Association has welcomed the measures as a huge step forward.
It will now work with the Department of Transport, the National Roads Authority, local authorities, and gardaí in implementing the recommendations.
