Motorists who break the speed limit on motorways, but avoid getting caught by slowing down as they pass speed cameras, are to be targeted by a new “average speed” system being introduced by the Garda and road operators Transport Infrastructure Ireland .
For example, if the points, Point A and Point B are set 120 kilometres apart, the vehicle can only legally cover that distance in one hour, travelling at the maximum speed of 120kilometre per hour. An average speed detection system was successfully introduced in the Dublin Tunnel to combat speeding in 2017. Since then the number of drivers exceeding the speed limit of 80 km/hr in the tunnel has dropped from about 55 per cent to just over 10 percent.
In 2020, there were a total of 357 speeding detections made in the vicinity of Junction 26 and Junction 27. TII said this type of driver behaviour was very dangerous, and is compounded during rain or hail showers increasing the potential of serious accidents. Junction 26 to 27 are in an area noted for sudden and severe showers of hail.
So you just slow down before the second one!! Or, if you get off before the second camera don’t worry! Or if I’m a motorcycle, don’t worry about either of them.......keep her lit!!
