Mangaluru, Jul 30: Dakshina Kannada district police began a speed detection operation on Monday, filing several cases against motorists for speeding.

Five mobile speed detection radar guns have been provided to the district police to detect speeding motorists. These guns can detect the speed of a vehicle at a distance of up to 100 meters.

More than 10 cases were registered on Monday within the city police commissionerate limits, with three guns allocated for these limits.

In Bantwal, police used speed detection radar guns to collect fines from motorists on Monday at Ramalkatte on NH 75. The operation was led by Bantwal traffic police SI Sutesh K P. Sixty-two cases were filed on the first day, and Rs 65,000 in fines was collected. According to police sources, this operation will continue on other roads as well.

However, the public is questioning the fines, as speed limit boards are not clearly displayed on the roads. Many speed limit signboards are covered with dirt, making the limit writing unreadable to motorists.

    If govt imposes fines to traffic violation and collect it properly, nirmala thayi will not have to increase the tax on middle class. And also road discipline will increase

    There are no signboards displaying the speed limit. Then on what basis the police fine for over speeding. May be a way to fleec the motorist. First instal speed limits boards then test your radars.

    City buses are immune to these cameras 📸 as they regularly take prophylactic treatment from time to time; only a very virulent strain can detect them 😅🤣🤣

    Good initiative to control the accidents, however, RTO should put sign boards, visible for motorist for speed limit! some areas you cant find speed limit board for many kilometers!

    It is very clear that the signboards of speed limit is not properly displayed on the roads. Suppose speed limit is fixed, these speed limit signboards are covered with advertisements and placards of the public which hides these signboards. Here and there humps were made and no signboards are specified prior to the Humps on the roads. Many humps are not having white paints on the humps. Many City busses have not modified their steps which are having more height. Autos are moving helter-skelter and prevention of this is required from the traffic police.

    If they fix the basic things then then the opportunity to make money decreases.

    "Well done, keep issuing fines like this. At least someone’s life will be saved. Those who can’t see the speed limit boards clearly, should be made to clean them.”
