Slow down folks … more than 900 new speed zones, including 16 in Waterford, came into effect across the country this morning.
The 903 cameras will operate in areas that have a speed-related collision history where fatal, serious injury and now minor injury collisions occur.
You can check out where they are on Garda.ie.
