It’ll get trialled somewhere that isn’t a problem area and scrapped when it “shows no significant improvement”.
If we put these in Cork City we could fund a Children’s Hospital on the f**king moon.
Let more than 2 cars through per green light and people might stop running it, somw lights in this country are really poorly timed . Not excusing running reds but i can see why
I was on a walk yesterday in Dublin and saw four red lights broken in an hour. Will be much appreciated to see these people penalised.
Yes, please!
Or will they be like those Dublin Bus cameras? Empty ‘deterrent boxes’.
Thats an “easy win” for revenue
About time, not just Dublin though. A few of these scattered across every larger population centre would be worthwhile. But also get the timings of these lights right too eh?
The crossing by St Audoen’s Park near The Brazen Head on the way down to the quays is one of the worst I’ve seen anywhere for this, you have drivers running solid reds, beeping at pedestrians who are trying to cross. Consistently. It’s gone totally out of control since Covid, I’d love to see some consequences for people.
Please double the fine for each time somebody is caught
Fix the lights
There are a few junctions on the Chapelizod bypass that could really do with these. It’s like a free for all
These were pretty common in Australia. Generated 100s of millions in revenue. When I first got there got stung twice, near $1000 in fines. Learnt my lesson quickly.

I’m sure at some stage without spending anything I’ll see which junctions have these cameras – I hope it’s the busy ones – what is peculiar and it happens all the time – Pedestrian push button, Pedestrian goes anyway – Drivers waiting with a Green Man for no reason.
They need to change the light sequence to have parallel pedestrian crossing during a green. The light sequences are painfully slow in Ireland.
They’ll need to add in a salmon colored light as well as the red one.
Red lights are currently considered optional by a lot of motorists. I watched a double decker bus break one out by the airport earlier!
About fking time….why only Dublin?
There are cretins breaking red lights every single day beside me, nearly hitting people.thry don’t give a shite.
Bring them everywhere… It’s the only way to stop people.
This will be a big money maker.
About time, the number of taxis just blazing through red lights is disgraceful & needs to solved.
There should be one on every road, every f@&)ing 2km and catch every bloody lunatic speeding on our roads. People die every week in this country because morons think they are driving GTA. Speed=ticket. (Speed again = ticket= off the road) let em walk!!!
Shame that this won’t apply to cyclists who do as they please in the city centre
This can only be a good thing, and more are needed around the country along with increased fines. It’s socially acceptable to speed up on amber and “beat the lights”
A friend of mine from Cork moved to Canada, swapped his lisence, and within a week of driving there, had been caught twice running red lights. $260 for the first one, $340 for the second one, and 6 penalty points.
Am I wrong in saying these are already in place? Over 10 years ago I was in a car with someone who ran a red light in Dublin, there was a flash that took a picture of the car and they subsequently got a fine or whatever.
That was always a matter if time because of the reduced gardai presence and numbers. The only way to police it is to hit people in the pocket. Then if it’s penalty pinted disqualification.. you can’t impound the vehicles or the whole country will become a pound ..well a county or two with the offenders we tend to see..
Gid help the buses… these are the worst culprits..
