Saw a speed trp setup on the north carriage on the N11 at Kilmacanogue at the north end.
Dual carriageway main road to wexford with a rediulous limit of 60 KPH
Why ? Should the gardai send a message out on the radio to tell people that they will be catching people speeding in x place at y time ?Fish in a barrel very cynical place to setup a trap.
Assuming people didn't break the law by speeding then I dont see how they would make money. Would you be happier if they decided that everyone should drive at 140km/h to 'save' lives ?Not saving lives making money.
Does anyone know what the process is for setting speedlimits? Is there a facility for members of the public to object if they think the limit is inappropriate (either too high or too low).
Speed limits are set as byelaws by the appropriate council. they publish a scheme of speed limits and invite submissions. there is a minimum period for submissions to be recieved and then the councillors consider the submissions and then adopt or vary the speedlimit byelaw.

RonanC said:They are totally legal in the UK as the Police were taken to court about them and they were Judged to be legal on the grounds that they warned the driver of potential accident black spots (were the police were meant to be doing speed checks)
but of course in Ireland, even the mention of them to a Garda is totally Illegal and warrants 1000000 penalty points...
whackin said:Quite rightly. Anythign which assists in people speeding without threat of getting caught should be illegal.
