New static speed cameras have been installed on the N59 in Galway as part of a nationwide rollout of nine cameras in high-risk areas.
The latest two installed by Gardaà are on the N59 at Aubwee. Co. Galway and on the N17 in Ballinsmaula, Co. Mayo.
Commissioning, testing and validation of the infrastructure and safety cameras has commenced and will continue for a number of weeks.
An Garda SÃochána has said has said that the sites were chosen due to “numerous road traffic collisions, involving injury, serious injury and fatalities” at those locations.
“Safety cameras are intended to change driver behaviour, reducing speed of road users and the number of collisions that occur, making roads safer for all road users and decreasing the impact of speed on local communities.”
“The purchase of infrastructure and operation of this initial phase of safety cameras is a funded initiative by An Garda SÃochána.”
“An Garda SÃochána also welcomes the announcement in Budget 2025 of €9 million in funding for up to 100 new static safety cameras,” a Garda spokesperson said.
