Speed Traps in Cork

[mistertrixy]

Been seeing a lot of these dotted around the city past few days, sneaky little one on Penrose Wharf yesterday.
Are these the same as GATSO van's in that they will catch anyone over the limit or are they only concerned with people substantially breaking the speed (according to some lad in work)?

Hard to tell where is 50 and where is 60 in some spots in the city.

Fellas with a handheld one have to stop you

The gatsos just arrive in the post

Oh I had assumed they could send it to you in the post.....few fellas doing 20+ over the limit yesterday around me so wonder why they didn't pull. Some people really fly down that quay to be fair.
Cheers for clarifying

I was late for a match in Dublin one day and passed a fella with a handheld well over the limit so I had to do some research. They def have to stop you

If ye stick to the proper speed limits these guys shouldn't bother you.Simple as.

50 kph in a built up area in general - 30 kph on Patrick’s Street, Grand Parade, Oliver Plunkett Street, North Main Street, Cornmarket Street and adjacent streets.

No offense but that is only nonsense talk.

Thanks Mom.......
My point is that I wasn't sure if it was 50 or 60, I wouldn't go over 60 anywhere in the city, only asking to be caught then but I couldn't see any signs on that road.

Pontipine (I think) had a thread querying the speed limit on Penrose Quay and I checked it out and posted. Can't remember what it was though tbh.
