Garda 'Speed enforcement' Zones.

carchaeologist

These are the locations of the new Speed cameras (Money collection points:rolleyes:) that are one the way. And before anyone wonders how i got them, i lifted them from the Garda website. I presume they will be moved around from these locations from place to place.

Can you see your road on it!

Excessive or inappropriate speeding continues to be a significant contributory factor in road traffic collisions. As part of the Road Safety Strategy 2007 - 2012 and An Garda Síochána's strategic goals, a targeted approach to speed enforcement will be undertaken in order to significantly reduce the incidence of fatal and serious injuries and improve road safety.
An Garda Síochána, in conjunction with the National Roads Authority, have completed an extensive analysis of the collision history on the road network where speed was a contributory factor. Sections of road have been identified where a significant proportion of accidents occurred whereby, in the opinion of the investigating Garda, a safe speed was exceeded.
Based on this analysis, a list of Speed Enforcement Zones has been developed with the aim of providing information to motorists in order to raise awareness of speeding in these zones. An Garda Síochána will utilize these zones in order to direct speed enforcement activity in a proportionate and targeted manner.
These zones will be reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis through continuing analysis, feedback, and sharing of information with other stakeholders.

Apart from these though, the guards will still be doing their own in any possible location. Just because your location ain't mentioned here though for these Speed Cameras does't mean you won't find a guard in any other number of locations doing their own speed check.

Safe Driving Everyone.

These are the ones that will be in the vans parked at the side of the road, or so im led to believe?

Correct but guards will be doing their own speed-checks in varying places aswell. I'm just telling people that just because you don't see locations that you usually travel through mentioned here doesn't mean that you won't encounter a speed check in operation.

Yes, presumably because the vans are run by another outside company, its not actually the guards that are operating them. They will have their speed guns as they always had?

Correct. It doesn't mean that just because people can or can't see their roads on that list you provided should not imply that people won't encounter a speed-check elsewhere!

The guy I was speaking to was convinced that clear nail varnish painted over the reg. plate would work, but that paint type varnish would not.

I think I'll let him find out if it works or not before I give it a go.

Do the cameras shoot the front or rear plate?

You sound like my OH - he has not received any penalty points yet, while I have accumulated a few more than I'd like.

It's not my fault that my car is too fast for those speed traps.

I agree to a certain extent but some of the speed limits in this country are ridiculous! A 3 lane dual carriageway on the N4 at 80km/hr is the same limit as a little boreen on a rural route to a farmers house. Very inconsistent and these safety cameras are a revenue generating scheme given the locations I looked at where these will be parked.

It's a pity that the one that I saw speeding through Listowel yesterday, wasn't nabbed by one of the driver's colleagues in another van.:(
