Speed Camera Van on N4 Lucan ALL DAY Last Sunday .

ytareh

Certainly it was parked city bound just pass Superquinn ,Lucan flyover at 10am and still there around 5pm.Now if a speed van in Wexford made 48 grand in 2 hours (600x80) this yoke should be paying for NAMA by Christmas !!!At that particular spot they seem to specialise in getting people in 'dips'/downhills

Put it on the M50 or M1, and it would pay for the Toll!:D

Ah that stretch of road is a favourite haunt of theirs.
Anywhere between the Spa hotel and Woodies on either side of the road is a regular vantage point to shoot fish in a barrel.

they later moved it to the quays and set it at 30 km/h :mad::mad::(

ytareh

EXACTLY 30kmh?I remember the fuss about the introduction of this limit but never dreamed theyd enforce it to the kmh!!!I guess the lads on bicycles going faster then 30km wont be pulled !

frank gooding

That 80 kmh is a pain all the way to lexlip.

Money collecting exercise

Noticed that myself on Sunday.

It's not on their list of collision prone zones, and according to the RSA, there have only been a couple of minor collisions on that stretch of road.

Conclusion: money-making racket.

When was that?

Anyone know who is actually responsible for the positioning of these cameras? Are the drivers of the van told where to set up, or are they told go out there and get them where ever you feel like?

Just curious to know, so as I know who the feel annoyed at. Is it some Super in the station and are the lads in the van 'Just following orders!' or is it the lads in the van looking for good stats so they can knock off early and 'Just doing my job!'

L1011

There's a memorial for a fatal crash on the Lucan bypass anyway, as well as one nearer Leixlip but I suspect that dates from the old road.

Both predate it being a fully grade seperated, solid median D3.

You sure what you saw was a speed camera van? I drove that road Sunday at 80k as they are always out on it and maybe saw an old van dumped up on the left in the maintenance bay just past the on ramp certainly wasn't a Gatso van.

I have to laugh at all the people blindly racing along there at motorway speeds in an 80 zone. Still don't understand why it's not at least a 100k zone

Eric is talking about on the quays near ha'penny bridge. Bazza, I think you're talking about near Lucan.

I saw two guards across from the Spa hotel recently with bicycles and one of them was holding a speed camera pointed towards traffic coming from the west!

1st time i ever saw them with a speed camera/gun on bikes and no squad car.

bazzachazza

Yeah I was talking about Lucan alright and them boys cycle up from Lucan cop shop and do the check from the bus shelter seen them there before. Also far side of road west bound they set up with a tripod looking under the bottom of the flyover catching people as they start down the dip beneath the bridge very sneaky you wont see them till its far too late.
