An Garda Síochána has confirmed a major expansion of road safety enforcement across Cork, with 42 new safety and speed camera zones set to be introduced from 1 January 2026 as part of a nationwide rollout aimed at reducing speed‑related collisions and fatalities. The increase forms part of a broader deployment of 390 new safety camera zones nationwide, with 30 specifically in Cork and 12 additional locations added after community safety requests. Gardaí stressed that the enhanced enforcement programme is designed to curb reckless driving and improve road safety for all road users amid a troubling rise in traffic deaths this year.
