Gardaí have published the locations of over 700 speed enforcement zones on their website on a county by county basis.

The zones cover accident blackspots which will be targeted by high visibility and speed detection policing.

Garda Commissioner Fachtna Murphy launched eight new speed detection vans in Templemore, Co Tipperary.

Each van is equipped with new and more efficient enforcement technology which enables them to monitor speed in adverse weather conditions and during the hours of darkness.

Gardaí are now informing people as to where the speed checks will be so that they will voluntarily slow down, he added.

The garda target is to reduce the number of deaths and injuries on the roads by 5%.
