As speeding remains a key road safety concern, the traffic police are trialling average speed enforcement on Singapore\u2019s expressways, beginning with the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE).<\/p>\n
This is being done through the progressive testing and calibration of the new Expressway Average Speed Enforcement system.<\/p>\n
The system uses police cameras at the entry and exit of an enforcement zone on the expressway to detect and compute a vehicle’s average speed based on the distance travelled and time taken.<\/p>\n
Vehicles that exceed the stipulated average speed limit will be flagged for speeding violations and no summons will be issued during the trial period.<\/p>\n
More details will be furnished when the system is ready for operationalisation.<\/p>\n
The police also noted that other measures had been rolled out, such as enhanced penalties for speeding and an expanded speed limiter regime for lorries, to curb errant road behaviour.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile the decrease in fatal accidents and fatalities in the first half of 2026 is encouraging, the upward trend of road traffic accidents and casualties over the past few years is a stark reminder that much more needs to be done for road safety,\u201d said traffic police commander Serene Chiu.<\/p>\n
She added that road safety was a \u201cshared responsibility\u201d and all road users needed to play their part.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
