Speed Camera: N2 (Slane) Location Goes Live This Week

Hey, there’s a new speed camera in Meath. It starts working this Friday, March 7th at noon. It’s on the N2 (Slane) road. Look for it between Cullen and Ballymagarvey. The camera watches traffic in both directions.

This camera checks average speed. It’s different than the usual kind. It records your speed over a distance. If you go over 100km/h, you’ll get a ticket. The cops will prosecute drivers who speed.

Speeding tickets cost money and points. A fine is €160, plus three penalty points. That’s if the cops catch you speeding.

These cameras aim to slow people down and they hope to reduce accidents, too. They also want roads safer for everyone. Average speed makes roads safer. It also impacts local communities.

These cameras use special tech, called ANPR, which stands for Automatic Number Plate Recognition. It records the time and date of your car, as well as the location. If you’re speeding, the cops get a report.

If your average speed exceeds the limit, expect a fine of €160 and three points. Alternatively, a court could give five points and fine you up to €1,000.

Dublin’s Port Tunnel got these cameras first in 2017. Other roads got them later in 2022. Before, many tunnel drivers sped. After the cameras, speeding dropped a lot.
