Naas Roads Policing Unit carried out speed checks across North Kildare on Monday, April 4 2026
During the recent Bank Holiday Road Safety Enforcement Campaign, Naas Roads Policing Unit conducted speed checks across North Kildare on Monday, April 4 2026.
What they found on our roads was described by gardai as “very concerning.”
Multiple vehicles were detected travelling at excessive and dangerous speeds, well beyond what is safe for the conditions.
Some of the transgressions were: 115km/h in an 80km/h zone; 111km/h in an 80km/h zone; 110km/h in an 80km/h zone; 106km/h in an 80km/h zone; and 91km/h in a 60km/h zone.
Every motorist detected speeding received a Fixed Charge Penalty Notice of €160 and three penalty points.
A garda spokesperson said of the offences: “These are not just numbers. These are decisions that put lives at risk.
“Speed limits are not targets. Road, weather and traffic conditions demand constant judgement. Slow down. Pay attention. Drive responsibly.
“Enforcement will continue.”
