The Road Traffic Act 2024 (No. 10) modernises existing road safety legislation with a focus on reducing incidents and fatalities on the roads. Key updates include enhanced laws addressing drink and drug driving, alongside an expansion of automated enforcement measures. The Act introduces increased protections for cyclists and pedestrians, ensuring a safer environment for all road users.

Furthermore, the legislation supports the transition to digital licensing and intensifies penalties for uninsured driving, thereby encouraging compliance. By aligning national regulations with EU transport standards, the Act aims to create a more cohesive and effective approach to road safety in Ireland.
