Irish benefits from mobile safety cameras

In 2011 the Republic of Ireland introduced mobile safety cameras on dangerous roads which have, according to the country’s first cost-benefit analysis of the technology, saved an average of 23 lives a year.

A study by the Department of Economics at Trinity College, Dublin, carried out for the Irish Department of Transport, has also found that benefits outweighed costs by more than five to one.

From the first year of operation, the monetary value of the benefits delivered far exceeded their costs. The benefits were mostly societal, with almost 92% being delivered in the form of reduced accident levels.
