operational this week.
An Garda SĂochána recently confirmed the installation of new static speed
cameras on the N17 (Mayo) and N59 (Galway).
The speed cameras become operational on the two national roads on Friday,
December 12/
Vehicles detected driving in excess of the 100km/h speed limit will be
subject to prosecution from Friday 13th December 2024.
Prosecution of speeding offences takes place by Fixed Charge Notice. The
current Fixed Charge Notice is €160 fine accompanied by 3 penalty points.
An Garda SĂochána has said has said that the sites were chosen due to
“numerous road traffic collisions, involving injury, serious injury and
fatalities” at those locations.
“Safety cameras are intended to change driver behaviour, reducing speed of
road users and the number of collisions that occur, making roads safer for
all road users and decreasing the impact of speed on local communities.”
“The purchase of infrastructure and operation of this initial phase of
safety cameras is a funded initiative by An Garda SĂochána.”
“An Garda SĂochána also welcomes the announcement in Budget 2025 of €9
million in funding for up to 100 new static safety cameras,” a Garda
spokesperson said.
