The Delhi Traffic Police said that as of mid-April this year, speeding offenses in the capital have come down by 15% compared to the same period in 2023.
Data released by the Traffic Police Department showed that a total of 816,372 speeding violation tickets were issued between January 1 and April 15, a significant drop from 952,367 in the same period last year.
A senior traffic police official said the police have significantly curbed speeding accidents on city roads through careful planning and implementation.
The official said in a statement that the systematic deployment of Over Speed Violation Detection (OSVD) cameras plays an important role in monitoring and controlling the speed of vehicles, thereby creating safer road conditions for all passengers.
“Enhanced deterrence measures help deter motorists from breaking the speed limit. The visible presence of OSVD cameras acts as a deterrent, instills a sense of responsibility among drivers and promotes compliance with traffic laws,” the statement added.
