The Road Safety Authority says it's 'worried' after new figures show 64 people have died on Irish roads so far this year.

It's the same figure from the same period last year, but road usage was down by around 70 percent in the last three months

There were 26 fatalities, including four in Cork, from March 13th to June 7th - 9 fewer than the same time in 2019

The RSA has launched a new campaign with the Gardai, urging motorists to be wary of increased traffic volumes as the country continues to reopen.

RSA Chairperson Liz O'Donnell says many towns have new road layouts to accommodate cyclists, which motorists should be aware of as well:
