Current Speed Limits
The default speed limit for most roads within the Dublin City Council area is 50km/h. Speed limit signs are erected at all points where there is a speed limit change. The enforcement of the speed limits is a matter for An Garda Síochána.
Dublin City Council has progressively introduced a 30km/h speed limit to many areas of the city, and Dublin City Council implemented 30km/h speed limits in all the residential areas as per approved Phase 4 – Special Speed Limit Bye-Laws 2020. Please see the map below of our Phase 4 Special Speed Limit Bye-Laws 2020.
What is a static safety camera?
A static safety camera is in one location and measures the motorists speed at that one particular point along the road.
How does it work?
As with GoSafe vans, drivers detected by static safety cameras breaking the speed limit on that road will be automatically issued a fixed charge penalty notice.
Why use static speed safety cameras?
Static safety cameras have been proven internationally to reduce speeding. Speeding is one of the main contributors to road deaths.
