Donegal’s first static speed camera will be in operation tomorrow (Friday) on the N13 road between Manorcunningham and Letterkenny.
The camera, located at Killyverry, has been in the commissioning and testing phase for a period before tomorrow’s switch-on.
The camera will be clocking vehicles breaking the 100km/h speed limit, and drivers who do so will be subject to prosecution from Friday 20th December 2024.
Speeding drivers face a fine of €160 accompanied by 3 penalty points.
The N13 camera is the third static speed camera to be installed nationally as part of enhanced road safety efforts by An Garda Síochána.
Gardaí will also conduct its final National Slow Down of 2024 this Friday 20th December, 2024.
“The Christmas period is one of the busiest on Irish roads. It is also one of the periods during which road users are at the highest risk of being involved in a fatal or serious road traffic collision,” gardaí said.
“To date, 167 people have lost their lives in road traffic collisions on Irish roads.
“An Garda Síochána is appealing to all those that will be taking to the roads over the festive period to slow down, take extra care and to give your driving your full attention.”
