Reflecting the Programme for Government, the expanded use of cameras for road safety and enforcement purposes will be a key focus of the Phase 2 Action Plan of the Government’s Road Safety Strategy to 2030. Increased camera deployment will be guided by the first National Safety Camera Strategy, the development of which is being led by Transport Infrastructure Ireland in partnership with all key road safety agencies and departments.

In the first instance, the approach of the Strategy is focused on cameras for the enforcement of speeding. The approach will be flexible to accommodate further offences over time. It will provide the framework for increased deployment of cameras across the network, in both urban and rural locations, to assist with the enforcement of a wide range of road traffic offences.
