Who are we?
Irishspeedtraps.com is run by a group of Irish motorists who are fed up seeing speed traps located on some of the the safest roads in the country. We believe the main factor in deciding the location of speed traps is not to improve road safety but merely an attempt to increase the "detection rate" statistics for speeding offences and generate additional revenue for the Government.

Some Facts
  • A mere 1% of fatal and injury collisions occur on motorways* for speed cameras to be placed only in high accident locations, to be clearly marked and have their locations publicised. This is what happens in other European countries such as the UK and France. We are strongly opposed to the current approach by the Irish Government and the Gardaí.
