Innovative methods of speed enforcement and more wide-ranging surveillance is required to address speeding on Irish roads, according to a campaign group.

Mairéad Forsythe, co-founder of the Love 30 Campaign for 30 km/h speed limits, said “innovative” actions — including an expansion of the average speed safety camera system which was launched on the M7 last year — need to be launched to reduce speeding on Irish roads.
