Complete guide to speed limits in Singapore (PIE, AYE, CTE, KPE, BKE). Explains residential 50km/h rules, Average Speed Cameras (ASC), speed laser traps, & fines.

Statutory Overview & Driving Framework

Speed limits and traffic enforcement in Singapore are regulated by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and Traffic Police under the Road Traffic Act. The default speed limit on residential and urban roads in Singapore is 50 km/h, while major arterial roads range from 60 km/h to 70 km/h. Expressways—including the Pan Island Expressway (PIE), Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE), Central Expressway (CTE), Seletar Expressway (SLE), Tampines Expressway (TPE), and Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE)—have speed limits of 80 km/h to 90 km/h. The Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) underground tunnel strictly enforces a 70 km/h limit. Speeding is captured by fixed digital speed cameras, Average Speed Cameras (ASC), and mobile laser traps.
