Speeding Cameras - Navan

Peadar85

Anybody know if the cameras around Navan are usually loaded with film? I'm not familar with the area and think I might have been slightly over the 100km limit passing the one at Dalgan Park on the Dunshauglin road at the weekend...

Doubt it, that thing hasn't flashed in years, not since they replaced it after some thoughtful individual burned it.

Oh right, I've since read that one on the kells road had been burnt out but didn't know this one had been too....crazy navanmen eh!!
I passed the camera, didn't spot it at all then i thought i saw something in the rear mirror and it was then that i spotted the monstrosity of a thing which had me thinking that what i spotted was a flash.
I have been reassuring myself with similar thoughts of hardly any of them working in the country but I'll just play the waiting game i guess!!

It was just the one on the Kells to Navan road that was burned, The one at dalgan park does flash but i doubt its loaded, i passed it last week on my bike doin about 130 or so headin for Navan, I herd somwhere that only 5 fixed Gatsos work in Ireland at any one time, not sure how true that is but the 3 i pass every morning and evening on the N3 defo dont work

The one at Dalgan was burned out before the one on the Kells side of Navan, about two or three years ago now, they didn't replace it for about six months.

Some idiot councilor from Dunshaughlin was ranting on about it in the local paper awhile afterwards, and saying there should be loads of them hidden all along the road from Dunshaughlin to Kells.

Be warned that there's been a white Transit Connect sized van parked at this camera over the last week or two. It disappeared a few days ago but it's back now about 300m further down the road (heading to Kells).

No tinted back windows but seems suspicious to me....

all camera's deserve a good cooking!
