Limerick gets high-tech traffic-management system

Traffic-management in Limerick has gone high-tech with the introduction of a new system of on-the-spot fines and a pilot scheme whereby motorists can pay for parking electronically without getting out of their vehicles.

All Limerick city traffic wardens have been issued with handheld terminals for issuing on-the-spots fines for illegal parking, which also enables information to be immediately transferred to a database at city hall.
