Speed camera signs are information signs and are used as traffic calming measures in some areas. They are optional and there is no legal requirement for a sign to be in place when there is a speed camera present.
The operation of the speed-camera system, including the location of speed cameras, is entirely a matter for the Garda Síochána, in conjunction with the contracted operator.
My Department has no role in this.
