Over 50 motorists caught speeding on M7 roadworks on ONE day last week

A total of 56 motorists were caught breaking the 60 km per hour during the roadworks on one day last week.

The 60km limit applies between Junction 8 and Junction 11.

Three months ago, an incredible 192 vehicles were caught speeding on December 6.

Gardai said: "We acknowledge the progress made but would continue to ask you to think of the road workers safety when traveling through these roadworks."

GoSafe speed vans were deployed in November last to keep motorists and construction staff safe while works continue and keep traffic moving and prevent unnecessary delays on the route.

Gardai said they will continue to deploy two GoSafe Vans along the 60km/hr zone to further enhance enforcement activity by local Garda Roads Policing Units while works continue.

The roadworks along the M7 are scheduled to finish at the end of next month.
