Gardai have confirmed plans to introduce safety camera zones and speed vans on more than 60 new routes in Ireland - as part of a major clampdown on speeding.
It'll bring the total number of zones across the country to 1,373, with the new routes coming into operation from 6am on Tuesday, July 26. The new zones are spread across 23 counties, 49% on Regional Routes, 31% National Routes and 20% on other routes (Motorway, Local Roads etc.).
It comes amid a grim announcement that there have already been 89 deaths on Irish roads so far in 2022. That's an increase in 28 over 2021 and 13 to date in 2019.
