Gardaí are to publish the locations of over 700 speed enforcement zones on their website on a county by county basis.
The zones cover accident blackspots which will be targeted by high visibility and speed detection policing.
Garda Commissioner Fachtna Murphy launched eight new speed detection vans in Templemore, Co Tipperary, this morning.
Each van is equipped with new and more efficient enforcement technology which enables them to monitor speed in adverse weather conditions and during the hours of darkness.
Mr Murphy said it is part of the new approach towards tackling speeding and deaths on roads.
Gardaí are now informing people as to where the speed checks will be so that they will voluntarily slow down, he added.
The garda target is to reduce the number of deaths and injuries on the roads by 5%.
More than 300 people were killed on the country's roads last year.
