With the introduction of Embossed Number plates in Nepal, Nepal has taken a great initiative of introducing speed detection cameras across the streets. Currently, there are three speed cameras in Nepal installed in the streets of Kathmandu Valley. These cameras use ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) technology. These cameras can read the number plates of vehicles in a real-time.
Police have enforced Traffic Violation Record Software (TVRS) in 21 districts of Nepal. This software helps to track the number plates of traffic rule violators.
TVRS Software has already been installed in Sunsari, Jhapa, Morang, Siraha, Parsa, Mahottari, Sindhuli, Kavrepalanchowk, Makawanpur, Kaski, Tanahu, Nawalparashi (East) districts, Rupandehi, Dang, Banke, Surkhet, Salyan, Dailekh, Kailali, Kanchanpur, and Doti. So, most probably, speed cameras will be introduced all over Nepal very soon.
