Terminal Speed Limit Sign missing

artvandulet

Have searched a few threads on this but nothing with this specific problem.

I received a speeding ticket for going 60 in a 50 zone. I thought I was in a 60km zone. I passed a set of 60km terminal signs and never saw any 50km signs.

I couldnt figure out how I missed them so I took a video of the stretch of road and compared it to google street view.

The Terminal sign for 50km has been taken down on the left hand side of the road due to work on the path. The repeater sign a couple of hundered metres up the road on the left has also been removed due to the work on the path! There are no other signs on this stretch of road.

You pass a set of 60km terminal signs then 850m down the road there is one 50km sign on the far side of the road and that is it. I got done beyond this.

I submitted an FCN cancellation form to the gardai with photos of the area before and after the works showing that there is normally signs there but its just come back as declined.

Do I just suck it up and pay the fine and take the 3 points or does anyone think I should go to court? I feel Im in the right on this one but if the law isnt on my side then I wont waste my time and the chance of a bigger fine.
