Introduction

  • An Garda Síochána contracted a service provider “GoSafe” to
  • perate safety cameras on their behalf
  • GoSafe commenced operations in November 2010
  • GoSafe provide a minimum of 7,400 hours enforcement and a

maximum of 100 hours of surveying per month

  • Enforcement by GoSafe is only carried out on a stretch of road that

has been identified as having a significant proportion of collisions whereby, in the opinion of the investigating Garda, a safe speed was exceeded.

  • Enforcement sessions are conducted in line with the days and times
  • f fatal and serious injury collisions

Summary of Results to Date

 GoSafe have completed over 800,000 hours of enforcement and

checked over 248 million vehicles since launch (up to end January 2020)

 The number of vehicles detected by GoSafe in excess of the speed

limit is on average <1 person per hour (2019)

 More than 1.5m fixed charge notices for speeding offences have

been issued in the same time (Garda and GoSafe)

 Compliance rates for 2019 are as follows:

Initial Speed Enforcement Zones

 When originally launched, there

were 518 stretches of road selected as a speed enforcement zones for GoSafe

 Using more recent fatal and

injury collision data from January 2016 to December 2018, a new review has been conducted

 The aim was to ensure

enforcement continues to be in line with emerging collision trends and takes account of improved compliance

New Zones launching February 2020

Updated Speed Enforcement Zones

 575 zones were identified for removal  1,322 Zones Identified as having a collision history

suitable for inclusion as a speed enforcement zones

  • 9.5% are on local roads,
  • 52.3% are on regional roads,
  • 28.8% are on national roads
  • 3.6% are on were motorways
  • 5.8% are on Unclassified Roads (Street Name, Road Name, Tertiary)

 Accounts for 4,427 km of road network – or 4.6% of the
