The Queensland Police Service (QPS) has received some new toys - in the form of mobile radar technology - just in time for Christmas.

Five of the radars have been attached to police motorbikes with another 12 to be rolled out across the state next year.

The new radars are capable of checking speeds while the bikes are in motion and will be used in addition to handheld radar.

Sergeant Sean Whittet wrote 15 tickets while patrolling the Warrego Highway on his bike yesterday using the new technology.

"That's 15 tickets too many," he said.

He said the new mobile radar was easy to use while riding - it was just a matter of flicking a few switches.

Results from the radars already in operation have been highly successful with one motorist's speed recorded at 154 kph in a 100 kph zone.

Acting Assistant Commissioner Michael Keating of the Road Policing Command said the radars meant police on motorbikes had greater capacity to stop offenders and keep the roads safe.

"The radar unit is compact and fits easily to the Queensland Police Service motorcycles without the need of modification to existing equipment," he said.

"The technology works in a similar manner to the car mounted systems however motorcycle officers will undergo specialised training to be certified in the use of the new radars.

"One motorist received two notices for speeding both of which were issued by the same police officer using this technology within a couple of days of each other.

"We would hope that's not repeated over the Christmas campaign period."

According to the QPS, 221 people have been killed on Queensland roads this year - 46 less than this time last year.
