Some 390 new speed camera zones have been rolled out by gardaí in recent days as part of a campaign to reduce road deaths caused by speeding.
185 people lost their lives in 174 road crashes during 2025, compared to 171 deaths in 157 collisions in 2024, according to new figures released by the Road Safety Authority.
5 people died on Monaghan roads in 2025 and 2 people lost their lives on Cavan roads over the past 12 months.
The primary purpose of safety cameras is to reduce speed-related collisions, lessen injuries and save lives.
There have been 12 new safety camera zones identified in Cavan and 12 in Monaghan. Ger Herbert, Motoring Correspondent for the Sunday Independent says the cameras will be in areas that have a history of speed-related collisions
