The Road Safety Authority (RSA) and An Garda Síochána have launched a new road safety campaign calling on road users to be extra cautious and alert to others on the road.
The appeal comes as traffic volumes increase following the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions allowing intercounty travel to resume.
The Road Back campaign is reminding road users that the easing of travel restrictions will mean more cars are back on the road, and with numbers of pedestrians and cyclists having increased significantly over the last year, the need to always be on the lookout for other road users is essential.

Fed-up neighbours are planning to move due to constant fires at a derelict building.
Residents of School Road Back, close to Acle New Road, Great Yarmouth, have suffered as the old Abbeville care home has been set ablaze multiple times over the past two years.
One resident said: I’ve been here 15 years, and the ongoing fires have become a really bad issue. We re looking to move soon.
Christine Nicholson, 70, of School Road, said: “The first fire was really bad as the wind was blowing towards our house. There was so much smoke.
With inter-county travel restrictions lifted, the Road Safety Authority and An Garda Síochána are asking all road users to take care and be more alert.
The Road Back campaign is calling on road users to be extra cautious as traffic volumes return to normal.
More cars are back on the road, and with the significantly increased numbers of pedestrians and cyclists over the last year, the RSA said the need to always be on the lookout for other road users is essential.
The latest Transport Bulletin from the Central Statistics Office, published today, said the volume of cyclists during off-peak for April 2021 was 111% higher than the same month last year.
