A garda spokesperson said of the campaign: “This campaign is about one simple message: Slow Down. Save Lives.
“Speeding reduces your reaction time, increases stopping distance, and makes collisions more severe.
Obey the speed limits
Adjust your speed for weather and road conditions
Be mindful of pedestrians, cyclists and other road users
Allow extra time for your journey
“Let’s work together to keep our roads safe across Kildare and Carlow.
A few seconds saved is never worth a life lost."
