You can no longer speed your way through the roads of Navi Mumbai, for the city's traffic police officials have been armed with speed guns by the state government. The traffic department will now deploy these devices on the city's major roads such as Palm Beach Road, Thane-Belapur and Sion-Panvel Highway, to book over speeding motorists.

According to officials from the Navi Mumbai traffic department, the new device can capture the speed of vehicles from a distance of 150 metres and measure speed up to 300 kilometers per hour. A speed gun costs around R7.5 lakh and is, furthermore, equipped with a five-megapixel camera that will be used to record the footage of the speeding vehicle.
