Slow down to prevent M7 delays

Since works have commenced on the M7 route between Junction 8 and Junction 11, in excess of 500 fixed penalty notices have been issued by An Garda Síochána to motorists for exceeding the speed limit.

 

During this period 32 motorists have been prosecuted for dangerous driving.

Recent incidents include:
• very high speeds
• poor lane discipline
• vehicles breaking through crash barriers

Traffic incidents along the route continue to be a cause of significant delays to road users on the route.

 

Since November 26th, An Garda Síochána has deployed two GoSafe Vans on this route to further enhance enforcement activity by local Roads Policing Units. This measure is being deployed to further deter motorists from breaking the 60kph speed limit in a renewed effort to keep both drivers and those carrying out works on the route safe.
