Speed Radar Cameras Installed at Six Udupi Highway Spots to Boost Road Safety
By ETF Desk
Earlier this week, the Karnataka State Road Safety Authority inaugurated speed radar cameras at six key stretches of highways in Udupi district, marking a significant upgrade to the region’s traffic monitoring facilities.
The cameras, part of a state‑wide initiative to curb speeding, have been positioned on major traffic corridors, including stretches of NH‑66 and surrounding state highways that link Udupi with neighboring towns. They operate by automatically detecting vehicles exceeding posted speed limits and issuing fines to offenders, thereby adding a deterrent to the existing police patrols.
Traffic officials anticipate that the new system will reduce the number of speeding incidents and related accidents along these busy routes. The cameras feed real‑time data to the Karnataka Police Traffic Division, allowing for quicker response and easier enforcement of road safety rules. This move is expected to enhance overall road safety and support the district’s goal of making travel safer for commuters.
