It is a component of the nine static speed safety cameras and three average speed cameras that will be installed nationwide this year.

Two camera systems have been equipped with infrastructure and technology on the N3 in Cavan, between Kilduff and Billis, and the N5 in Mayo, between Lislackagh and Cuilmore, Swinford, according to gardaí.

These cameras will be under construction for several weeks.

Slane, County Meath, on the N2 will be home to the second average speed camera.

According to gardaí, the locations of these cameras were selected because they satisfy the requirements of being high collision sites with a high frequency of traffic crashes causing injuries, serious injuries, and fatalities.

The static speed cameras will be situated on the N59 in Galway, N25 in Waterford, R772 in Wicklow, N14 in Donegal, N80, in Carlow, Dolphin’s Barn in Dublin, N17 in Mayo, N22 in Cork, and N69 in Limerick.

Advanced warning would be given before the enforcement phase begins, gardaí added.

According to Justice Minister Helen McEntee, the installation of the cameras should contribute in lowering the intolerable number of traffic fatalities that have occurred recently.
