Average speed enforcement goes live in Dublin Port Tunnel

Ireland’s first average speed camera enforcement system has gone live in the Dublin Port Tunnel.

Ireland’s first average speed camera enforcement system has gone live in the Dublin Port Tunnel. Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), working with An Garda Síochána and Dublin Tunnel operator 7319 Egis, has installed the system in a bid to mitigate the potential for collisions and incidents due to a 40 per cent increase in traffic levels over the last five years.

The system monitors a driver’s average speed while driving through the Dublin Tunnel and if a driver is above the 80 km/h speed limit, he will be in violation and enforcement penalties will apply. Once the system determines that a vehicle has exceeded the speed limit, it will automatically create a record of the violation which will then be transmitted to An Garda Síochána for their action.

The enforcement procedure will mirror the existing procedures developed by An Garda Síochána for the processing of speeding offences that incur a fixed charge and applicable penalty points.

    Martyn Harriss looks at what we can do to simplify the type approval of enforcement equipment in Europe. I doubt that there are many who can remember the days when policemen hid in the bushes with stopwatches and flags to catch speeding motorists - and I'd suggest that back then there were few who were caught who would have dared question the accuracy of those watches or those who operated them. Probably, fewer still here in Europe could have dreamt that a supranational body such as the European Union (EU)
