Speed camera vans will be operating in hundreds of new locations all over the country including 16 in Waterford from this morning.
The new zones have been picked in areas where crashes regularly occur and came into operation at 6am.
The locations are available on the garda's website but speed camera warning signs are being removed.
Gardaí are increasing the number of areas where drivers' speed is being monitored after reviewing nearly a decade of data.
Up to nine fatal collisions have occurred on the new routes in Waterford. They include locations on the N72, N25, R680 and R671and brings the number
of areas covered in Waterford up to 29.
Conor Faughnan from the AA says it's disappointing warning signs are being removed.
"Irish motorists, from AA research, are very strongly in favour of these road safety measures," he said. But it is important not to try and sneak up on people.
From this morning, GoSafe vans will be parking up at over 900 new locations across Ireland to watch out for speeding drivers.
The monitoring network is being expanded, with over 13-hundred stretches of road now marked for enforcement.
Nearly six hundred locations are being removed after a review to concentrate on new areas identified as "high risk."
Over 1.5 million speeding tickets have been issued in the decade since the vans were first brought in.
But Gardaí say the real measure of success is falling road deaths - which have decreased by around a quarter since then.
