Gardaí have launched almost 1,000 new speed camera locations nationwide as part of a crackdown on speeding.
Since 2010, An Garda Síochána has set out to make roads safer through the use of safety cameras, using a service provider ‘GoSafe’ to operate them on its behalf. More than 1.5m speeding tickets have been issued in this time.
The primary purpose of safety cameras is to reduce speed-related collisions, lessen injuries and save lives.
