How does the Indian government promote road safety through new rules for traffic radar equipment verification
Exploring the measures taken by the Union Government to enhance road safety through the introduction of new rules for traffic radar equipment verification.
- The Indian government has mandated the certification of traffic radar equipment by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) or the Electronics Regional Test Laboratory (ERTL) for accurate speed measurement.
- The new rules require all traffic radar equipment used by law enforcement agencies to undergo calibration and verification to ensure their accuracy in measuring vehicle speeds.
- By enforcing these rules, the government aims to prevent erroneous speed readings that could lead to incorrect fines or penalties for motorists.
- The verification process includes checking the calibration of the radar equipment periodically to maintain its precision in speed detection.
- These measures not only promote road safety by deterring speeding but also enhance public trust in law enforcement practices related to traffic management.
