New Speed Cameras Installed in Dublin, Glasgow; Average Cameras Planned in Essex

New speed enforcement measures are being introduced in multiple locations to address ongoing speeding problems and reduce serious collisions. In Dublin, a static safety camera will begin operating at Dolphin's Barn on Crumlin Road starting August 1, with fines of €160 and three penalty points for speeding offenses. Similarly, Essex County Council, Essex Police, and the Safer Essex Roads Partnership are installing average speed cameras and lowering speed limits from 60mph to 50mph or 40mph along 14.5 miles of the A414 after multiple fatal crashes in 2024 and early 2025. In Glasgow, a fixed speed camera on Barrhead Road near Silverburn will be activated to curb speeding, which has led to 10 injury collisions over four years, including a fatal pedestrian crash in 2020; offenders face a £100 fine and three penalty points. Authorities emphasize that these measures aim to improve safety for all road users, especially vulnerable pedestrians and cyclists, by encouraging compliance with speed limits and reducing reaction times related to speeding. Officials across these regions urge drivers to respect speed limits and drive attentively to prevent further tragedies.
