Speed Radar Cameras Now Operational at Six Udupi Highway Sites

Udupi’s traffic authorities unveiled new speed radar cameras at six key highway locations last week, a move that signals a heightened focus on road safety across the district.

The cameras will monitor vehicles on the NH‑66 corridor between Udupi and Mangalore, as well as on the NH‑73 stretch that links Udupi to Shivamogga and the coastal trunk roads in Kundapura. Officials said the equipment will record illegal speeds and send alerts to local police.

Traffic surgeons predict a reduction in speed‑related accidents by up to 15% in the first six months. Residents have expressed both support and concerns about potential enforcement, but government officials insist on strict law compliance. Source: Google News – Udupi District.
