NEW speed cameras will catch motorists driving faster than the speed limit on average during a journey
The point-to-point cameras measure the time taken by a vehicle to travel between two fixed cameras to determine its average speed.
Police Minister Jennifer Rankine said it was a fairer way of measuring vehicle speed.
"These cameras detect speed over a wider area, as opposed to a single point in time," she said.
Similar technology is already used to measure the speed of trucks over long distances through the Safe-T-Cam network, but now new cameras will target regular drivers.
Point-to-point technology is used in the UK, Netherlands and Scotland.
"Speeding on highways continues to be a major cause of road crashes and road trauma," Ms Rankine said.
