8,000 road rule breaches detected during Cork City bus camera pilot

The trial was run by the National Transport Authority and Bus Éireann on two buses on Cork’s busy 24-hour 220 route across several weeks between August and November last year

The bus-mounted camera trial in Cork was run on the 24-hour 220 route, carried out separately to a national plan for the introduction of safety cameras.

Bus-mounted road safety cameras captured thousands of motorists flouting the rules of the road during a successful trial project in Cork City.

Some 8,000 separate infringement incidents were spotted by the cameras — from motorists driving illegally in dedicated bus lanes, to impeding the flow of buses by parking on double-yellow lines, or stopping in yellow box junctions — but there will be no enforcement proceedings arising because it was just a trial.
