I would be thinking it is to catch cars doing Donuts. I remember seeing a lot of skid marks around there.
Either way I think the public should be informed what they are for. It's a bit wrong to just erect them without telling people.
The bands on the road just give volume of cars and can't be that accurate. I think the bands could tell direction and possibly axle count, but they'd be a problem if cars cross it in both directions at once.
I was thinking it was a digital camera image traffic counting solution, that could count different vehicle types - cars vs trucks by basic size of image recognition. Perhaps I'm thinking too advanced for the NRA or whoever looks after these things...
Maybe the plan was to catch the cars doing donuts - but sure they'd only have to go 100m up the road to avoid them, as the camera can't turn (even before the new N84 section). Surely who ever put them in must have thought of that... Now these lads are doing the donuts on the nice new wide section a few kms North of the camera anyhow....
The mystery continues...

it's curious that the cameras are positioned at the junction where the old road ends and the current road is... were they installed before the upgrade work (the current road i mean).. must ask a friend who works in the roads dept. in GCoCo....🌦️ 6.7kwp, 45°, SSW, mid-Galway 🌦️
