Debated in Parliament on 17 Feb 2014.
Mr Baey Yam Keng asked the Minister for Transport since the speed limit on the KPE was raised to 80km/h on 29 December 2013 (a) what is the number of motorists caught speeding near the Upper Paya Lebar Road (north bound) exit and the Airport Road (south bound) entrance where the original 70km/h speed limit has been retained; (b) how does this number compare to that before 29 December 2013; and (c) whether there is a need to enhance the signs to remind motorists of the lower speed limit.
The number of speeding violations at that location mentioned has increased to about 55 per day in January 2014, compared to about 30 per day in October last year. LTA will add two pairs of "Reduce Speed Now" signs per direction along the stretches approaching that location, in addition to the existing signs and road markings, to remind motorists to comply with the 70km/h speed limit.
