The County Police Bureau's Traffic Team stated that the existing enforcement equipment at Provincial Highway 14 (70.7 km mark) and Dongmin Road (1.35 km mark) in Nantou City has been in use for a long time, and software and hardware failures have affected operational efficiency. To implement precise enforcement and ensure the accuracy of citations, a budget was allocated to update the equipment, introducing new-generation digital speed detection radar and simultaneously optimizing the image capture system to improve the stability and accuracy of violation detection.

Statistics show that these two road sections had a total of 99 traffic accidents in the past two years, indicating the necessity of strengthening speed management.
