    ....has anyone seen these??

    They are just after the Applegreen garage leaving Dublin and just before the Rathcoole exit on the other side.

    They look just like CCTV camera's on shorter poles rather than the traditional box-style GATSO's. Anyone know if they are speed camera's or just CCTV traffic monitoring types?

    Are there any line markings on the road similar to the ones below? If not they are more than likely traffic monitoring cameras.

    That North/South thing gives me the hump (the description does, not what you said ShayK1!) They are east and west bound :D Both sides of the N7 ~ I was just describing exactly where they were so you could all slow down ;)

    And no, I don't think there are lines though I'll have a look tonight. They don't look like speed camera's but I was having this debate with someone in work today. I think they are traffic monitoring camera's but just to be on the safe side...

    Yeah, they have put loads of them all over Clondalkin. On the Fonthill road, outer ring road, Nangor roads. The even have signs at Newlands cross with a garda badge on them saying Garda cameras in operation. Meant to ask here before what they where but kinda knew they werent speed cameras.

    If they had speed cameras on the M50, 95% of drivers would have raked up points.

    Also, why is it that people think that the speed limit doesn't apply when in the fast lane/overtaking lane? There has been so many times when I've been on a motorway in the "slow" lane on the speed limit and car after car zooms past me in the fast lane doing at least 10-20mph more than I am.

    the out side lanes are not speed lanes. they are meant to be overtaking lanes and once you over take you are supposed to get back in the inner lane.

    Where abouts are they on each road especially the Ring Rd? I usually go on the N4 and then M50 to get in and out of work but often go on the Ring Rd and then take the Fonthill Rd to the N4 also.

    Two on either side of the road at the Outer Ring Road / New Nangor Road Junction. One on the Southbound side of the Outer ring road / N7 junction. One at the Fonthill Road / Old Nangor Road junction. One up near Newlands cross.. cant remember exactly where I saw it. There's a few more floating about too.

    As was said before, they seem to be traffic monitoring cameras (Though I dont know why they need their own ones instead of using the council's ones). From driving by, only the mountings seem to be there. There doesn't seem to be any cameras in them yet.
