Gardaí and The Road Safety Authority (RSA) have launched a new road safety campaign calling on Longford road users to be extra cautious and alert to others on the road.
The appeal comes as traffic volumes increase following the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions allowing intercounty travel to resume.
‘The Road Back’ campaign is reminding road users that the easing of travel restrictions will mean more cars are back on the road and with numbers of pedestrians and cyclists having increased significantly over the last year, the need to always be on the lookout for other road users is essential. With people being encouraged to have an ‘outdoors summer’, the RSA and An Garda Síochána are calling on road users to pay attention and make the road a safer place for everyone.
“I think overall the motoring public, given the inclement weather and the increased people on the road their driving behaviour has been pretty good across the board,” he said, but added the 143 speeding fines was “unfortunate”.
“We will be actively enforcing the road rules over the every day of the year but this time we were certainly out there in greater numbers.
“That’s resulted in 143 people getting caught.
“None of those were over the high-speed range (40kmh over the speed limit), that’s a positive but every k over is a killer.”
Police will continue their traffic campaign over the school holidays until April 18.
