The Road Safety Authority (RSA) and An Garda Síochána are renewing their appeal to all motorists to act responsibly when travelling on the roads.
Bank Holiday weekends are traditionally high-risk periods for crashes related to speeding, alcohol and drugs.
So far this year, 69 lives have been lost on roads nationally, an increase of 16 on the same period last year.
Speed has been identified as a major contributory factor in the high number of fatalities.
The RSA said a survey has shown that one in four drivers think that speeding 10km over the limit is acceptable.
Nine new static speed cameras will be installed around the country and Gardaí have revealed their locations.
One is to be located east of Letterkenny, on the N14 Manor Roundabout to Lifford road.
