AN additional 390 new safety camera zones will become operational from 1 January, bringing the total number of safety camera zones nationwide to 1,901.
A total of 27 of these will be installed in Kildare, six of which will be ‘Community Request Safety Camera Zones’, for areas which have been highlighted by Garda Divisions arising from concerns held by the community, or observations of local Gardaí in relation to speeding activity on certain roads.
The primary purpose of safety cameras is to reduce speed-related collisions, lessen injuries and save lives.
To date in 2025, there have been 186 road deaths, the highest level of road deaths on Irish roads in over a decade.
Speed cameras operate in areas where there is a history of speed-related collisions known as speed enforcement zones.
