Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Engagement with Road Safety Authority
Mr. Sam Waide:
In terms of the average speed cameras, just to clarify, there is one set in operation on the M7. In the first two weeks of operation, the compliance rate recorded by the cameras was 99.7%, there or thereabouts. That is an extreme positive because it is has calmed the traffic on that stretch of motorway in that part of the country. The commitment in the road safety partnership - councils, TII, An Garda Síochána, RSA , Department of Transport and others sit on that partnership board - is to consider further average speed cameras because they have a calming effect on the flow of traffic, hence creating safer roads for us all. Does that answer the question?
