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.
