โ€œStudies conducted in Sweden and Norway have shown that safety cameras can reduce fatal collisions by 38% to 49%, and a London School of Economics Study found fatal collisions decreased by 58 to 68% within 500 metres of safety cameras.โ€ - An Garda Sรญochรกna. So why not more cameras?

Dear Co. Wexford councillors. The reason why speed ramps are necessary is that despite numerous An Garda Sรญochรกna pleadings, urging & imploring drivers to slow down, many simply carry on regardless. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ WHAT ARE ๐Ÿซต non-populist solutions?!

The #Portal4Cycling will be rolled out at end of 2025 or start of 2026 at latest. This will really give teeth to Dangerous Overtaking of a Cyclist legislation. It will simplify the process enormously. #Cycling #RoadSafety

Another bank holiday = another โ€˜appealโ€™ to drivers ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ Even An Garda Sรญochรกna knows how useless appealing to drivers is.. Enforcement-fines-penalty points without apologies and youโ€™re half way there.. x.com/gardatraffic/sโ€ฆ

irishcycle.com/2025/05/29/iveโ€ฆ Iโ€™ve nothing against newspaper columnists, butโ€ฆ do they all have to write about cycling? โ€“ IrishCycle.com Itโ€™s wonderful to have IrishCycle.com calling out some of the nonsense that some journalists seem happy to roll out about people who cycle.

Excessive and inappropriate speed is a dangerous behaviour on our roads. When youโ€™re going too fast, you canโ€™t keep up with the road. Let's slow down and save lives. #VisionZero #DriveSafe
