Ireland's first Mainline Motorway Average Speed Camera Safety System launches Monday, April 25, 2022.
Security cameras will operate on the M7 motorway in Tipperary - between junction 26 and junction 27 - in both directions (east and west) from 7 a.m. on Monday, April 25, 2022.
Drivers found to be driving in excess of the 120 km / h motorway speed limit are liable to prosecution.
Prosecution = fixed charge notice of 80 euros penalty + 3 penalty points
Further details on the Fixed Charge Notice System are available at www.garda.ie
Pilot Scheme:
• Previously - the compliance of motorists with a motorway speed limit of 120km / h was less than 70%.
• At this time - the compliance of motorists with motorway speed limits of 120 km / h has risen to less than 90%.
Analysis of Ireland Traffic Data by Transport Infrastructure shows:
In general, drivers in low traffic volume sections of the motorway network across the country accelerate - speed + rain or hail = increasing the risk of serious accidents.
Motorists do not change their speed enough in response to adverse weather conditions (eg heavy rain or low road temperature).
What is an average speed camera security system:
A camera with a certain speed captures the speed of the vehicle at a certain point on the road, and the average speed camera systems track the speed of the vehicle over a certain distance.
On the M7 motorway between fixed points between junction 26 and junction 27 - the average speed camera security system monitors the average speed of a driver while driving in both directions (east and west).
If the vehicle is found to be above the motorway speed limit of 120km / h, the driver may violate the law and be subject to enforcement penalties.
Once the average speed security camera enforcement system has determined that a vehicle has exceeded the speed limit, it will automatically generate a record of detection and forward it to the Garda for action.
Drivers using this part of the M7 motorway should pay attention to the large yellow poles with cameras J26 - J27. These pillars highlight the speed camera security system.
The average speed between the two camera positions is recorded, and the enforcement zone covers all lanes, so changing lanes does not affect the average speed monitor. The system will not have flashing lights or other activity indicators, but it will be monitored at all times.
