The new cameras have been placed on the A90 at Charleston to enhance the safety of road workers and motorists. The equipment will be operational from Wednesday, 25 January.
A spokesperson for Transport Scotland said: "These cameras are similar to the existing average speed cameras on the A90 between Blackdog and Balmedie, which have been operational since July 2016. The works at Charleston took a step forward towards the end of last year following the introduction of the new traffic management measures.

"These were implemented while works are underway, including a 50mph speed restriction, which was introduced to improve the safety of road workers and road users.
"When the average speed cameras become operational, the speed restriction will remain unchanged at 50mph. However, the cameras will help to ensure that this speed restriction is observed.
"In addition to the proven safety benefits of average speed cameras, their use in major road works schemes demonstrates their ability to improve traffic flow and journey time reliability."
