A total of 390 additional camera zones will be activated nationwide, significantly expanding the existing network of more than 1,500 enforcement areas already in place.
Garda authorities say the expanded rollout is designed to reduce speed-related collisions and address the sharp rise in fatalities on Irish roads.
So far in 2025, 186 people have lost their lives in road crashes, making it the deadliest year on record for road deaths in more than a decade.
Among the newly introduced locations are 55 community request zones, which were identified following concerns raised by residents and local gardaí.
These areas typically reflect repeated reports of speeding, near misses, or collisions, particularly in residential or high-risk locations.
Safety cameras are installed within designated speed enforcement zones, chosen based on detailed analysis of garda data from fatal, serious and minor traffic incidents.
Community input also plays a role, with local Garda engagement helping to highlight roads where enforcement is urgently needed.
All camera locations are published on the Garda website and shared with satellite navigation providers to ensure transparency for motorists.
Regionally, Dublin will see the highest number of new zones, with 35 additional camera locations being introduced.
Cork will receive 30 new safety camera zones, while Donegal will have 26 added to its existing network.
Tipperary is set to gain 23 new camera zones, with Wexford receiving a further 21 locations.
Assistant Commissioner Catharina Gunne, who leads Roads Policing and Community Engagement, said the majority of drivers comply with speed limits and drive responsibly.
She warned, however, that a persistent minority continue to engage in dangerous driving, placing themselves and others at serious risk.
Gardaí say the expanded enforcement measures aim to protect vulnerable road users and prevent further tragedies as the new year begins.
