Road Safety Strategy 2021-30: Discussion
Ms Paula Hilman:
I thank the Senator. Much of that technology is available. It is one of the deliverables under the road safety strategy regarding the increased use of technology. I will give an example - the very example the Senator used about the M7 in Tipperary. We had a clear communications strategy letting people know that enforcement was starting on a particular day. That was because we want people to change their behaviour. This is what it is about. If we look at data that was released today, it shows that prior to the equipment being erected, the compliance rate with the speed limit was 69%. This means that 31% of drivers did not comply with the speed limit. That was before the equipment was erected.
