Gardaí have caught more than 100 drivers speeding on the M7 between Junctions 8 and 11 today.
Extra checks have been put in place following a number of crashes along part of the road where upgrade works are ongoing.
Since the operation commenced this morning, Gardaí and Go Safe have detected in excess of 100 motorists breaking the 60kph speed limit.
Gardaí are reminding motorists traveling through the works to slow down to prevent delays.
Speaking this afternoon at Naas Garda Station Superintendent Declan McCarthy said: "We would like to thank all of those who have heeded our warnings in advance of this latest operation.
"It is however very disappointing that so many motorists have been detected breaking the limit on the first day of this augmented speed enforcement campaign.
"The aim of this operation is to keep motorists and construction staff safe while works continue and keep traffic moving and prevent unnecessary delays on the route", he said.
An Garda Síochána will continue to deploy two GoSafe Vans on this route to further enhance enforcement activity by local Garda Roads Policing Units while works continue.
