Speed van on rochestown Road

Are there's always active, I was going about 55,think I got with the van at the end of the road before you turn left to the south ring. Do they record from both sides?

the camera is at the back of the van so can only catch vehicles coming from behind.

I stand to be corrected on this, but I believe they can measure your speed as you approach them and as you go away from them, so theoretically, they can catch you going either direction.

"We monitor from the back of the van, so the camera is on the back of the van," .
"When you're moving past the back of the van, either coming towards or moving away, the van can monitor that speed."
And how near to the van do you have to be for it to track your speed?

"The general rule of thumb that we would use is that if you can see the van, you're generally in range."

Cheers, hopefully i haven't been caught.

Made me dig out my car instructions and put on speed limiting, have a Kia Niro so the electric speeds up way faster than a normal car. Will def start using the speed limiting in future as i find myself going faster without realising.

Speedometers usually overread, you may have not been speeding at all. Go and measure your real speed with some GPS app on your phone.

I saw one on the lower glanmire road recently just before the hump as you get to the train station, cash cow if the speed display there is anything to go by. I currently live in the area and delighted for this as sometimes i've seen the display hitting 70 on that sign. There's constant breaking the speed limit and traffic lights in the city centre and something needs to be done.

Bring on 30km speed limits in city centres and residential areas.

South link, last evening coming from town (6pm) just before the Douglas exit there was a gard pulled in but I'm not sure he was doing speed checks. If he was he would have caught me overtaking, doing 111 (adjusted for weight of the car, 101)

I may have gotten away with it. I feel like i have. I'll know more tomorrow lol.

No idea how you could speed in Douglas with the traffic...

If you do speed, you're the wanker. Simple as that.
