Udupi District Commissioner Urges Speed Governor Installation on Goods Vehicles
By ETF Desk
The Udupi District Commissioner has urged transport officials to ensure that all goods vehicles operating in the district are equipped with speed governors. The directive comes after a series of road accidents attributed to speeding truck and bus drivers, highlighting the need for stricter enforcement of speed limits.
Officials say that speed governors, which limit the maximum speed of a vehicle, can reduce the likelihood of high‑speed crashes and protect both drivers and road users. The Commissioner’s directive aligns with state government policies aimed at improving road safety, especially on highways that pass through Udupi and adjoining districts.
Transport companies and fleet operators have been notified to undergo inspections to confirm compliance by the end of the month. The implementation of speed governors is expected to lower accident rates, reduce insurance costs, and enhance overall traffic flow in the region. Source: Google News – Udupi.
