The 'Stingray' cameras are visible to passing motorists and can read the number plates of vehicles travelling at up to 100 miles per hour.
They were first introduced in England in 2001 and are also operated in parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Offenders will face fines of up to £1,000 for a car or motorbike, and up to £23,000 for a heavy goods vehicle.
Crushed
Wheelclamping of cars without tax discs has been in force across the UK since 1997.
So far, 99,000 vehicles have been targeted and 51,000 of them have been disposed of by crushing.
New regulations will also come into force for wheel-clamped vehicles which reduces the time clamped vehicles are kept in storage from 35 to 14 days.
After that time, unclaimed vehicles will be crushed.
