New Guidelines for Doppler Radar Vehicle Speed Monitoring Open for Public Comment

The Consumer Affairs Ministry in New Delhi is inviting public comments on draft rules for microwave Doppler radar equipment used to measure vehicle speeds. The rules propose that new and existing radar equipment must be verified and stamped within a year to ensure their accuracy for legal proceedings.

The Consumer Affairs Ministry has invited public comments by June 11 on draft rules for microwave doppler radar equipment used to measure vehicle speeds on roads, according to a circular issued by the ministry.

The draft rules stipulate that radar equipment installed after the final rules are notified must be verified and stamped within one year.

Existing installed equipment should also be verified and stamped whenever their re-verification becomes due, the ministry said.

Radar equipment already installed, whose re-verification is due or becomes due within the next year, should be verified and stamped within one year of the new rules coming into force.

The rules prescribe conditions that the radar equipment must satisfy if the speed measurement results are to be used in legal proceedings.
