An Garda Síochána has today announced the locations of nine static speed safety cameras, which are aimed at being fully operational by the end of 2024.
The cameras will be located at locations including the N25 between Luffany and Glenmore on the outskirts of Waterford City in South Kilkenny.
Others locations include
Galway, N59, between Moycullen and Galway City
Wicklow, R772, Arklow Road, Aske, north of Gorey
Donegal, N14, east of Letterkenny
Carlow, N80, between Barristown and Levitstown
Dublin, Crumlin Road/Parnell Road/Dolphin Road/Dolphin’s Barn Junction
Mayo, N17, northeast of Claremorris
Cork, N22, east of Lissarda, west of Ovens
Limerick, N69, east of Askeaton
The locations were selected based on fatal and serious injury collision data from the last seven years and speed data, as well as feedback from stakeholders.
The nine static speed cameras are being funded from the Garda budget at a cost of approximately €2.4 million over the next 18 months.
In addition, Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has requested that a business case is developed for the introduction of a further 100 static speed cameras.
This business case will then form part of An Garda Síochána’s application for its overall funding in 2025 as part of the Estimates Process.
