Speed Limit for PIE, BKE, KJE
-
There are the 3 highway that I always take. Being a first year driver with only 12-points, I drive carefully and always maintain 90 kmph at PIE, BKE and KJE.
I can see cars passing me at 100 kmph (normal) and even taxi may travel at 110 kmph and above.
By the way, what is the speed limit for PIE, BKE and KJE ? I presume the speed limit is standard for all highways, right.
If we exceed the speed limit + 10 kmph should be no problem and not booked for speeding right ?
Thanks !! -
by right is 90. by left, if u want a safe margin, 100 is it. dun go beyond.

All the highway limits varies between 80 to 90 km/h depending on various locations. Take note, coz if you travel at 100 on a 80 stretch, you'll be about 20 overlimit.Originally posted by wt_know:There are the 3 highway that I always take.

While these are hard limits, enforcement-wise unoffically depend on the TP whose path you suay suay come across. Usually up to 10 overlimit, they close one eye. About 20 overlimit then chances are they enforce.
Enforcement on the roads are usually more strict when the traffic is light, like between 11pm and 7am. So be more careful when driving in this period.
But having said these, law sez these are hard limits and drivers who decide to play the close-eye margin will be lan-lan should the TP want to enforce at these hard limts.
Hope this helps, Cheers!

got mata around <= 90 km/hr
if no mata around > 90 km/hr

Usually TP will only book you if you exceed the speed limit by 20km/h. So it is normal to see car travelling at around 110km/h on a 90kmh road. I would advice that you stick to the 100kmh mark until you have got the full 24 pts.Originally posted by wt_know:There are the 3 highway that I always take.

In the mean time, please dont hog the road. pleas keep to the 2nd lane if there is a faster car behind you..

The speed limit is 90 for these 3 highway. However, the road is clear and most cars is able to go till about 110Km . The TP usually turn a blind eye to that, unless you are driving strangely or overtaking unnessarily. The reason is if they enforce it strictly, end up everyone will slow down and jam up the road and cause more problem and accident.Originally posted by wt_know:There are the 3 highway that I always take.

But the general thumb of rule is , see TP better slow down to 90km, don't ask for trouble.
As you are new driver it is still better for you to go at 90km which is a good speed to react if something happen. -
One thing you have to be sure is that TP dun just catch people for speeding. If he wants to catch u, he will have thousands of reasons to catch you. For example, you travel at 90km/h which is perfectly legal but maybe you keep swtiching lanes, my friend kena before, the reason: Reckless and incosiderate driving.
-
90KM is the legal speed. you got an allowance at 105.. but try not to push your luck...

there are some sections on the expressway where the limit is FIFTY, just because there are some bends! i was like cursing, how retarded......
-
cause going into a bend at high speed is not the thing to do...Originally posted by Theatre Of Dreams:there are some sections on the expressway where the limit is FIFTY, just because there are some bends! i was like cursing, how retarded...... -
PIE is only 70km/h near Kallang and fixed 80km/h (aft Steven Rd?) with Speed Cam ...

But dun get into meet with the camOriginally posted by HENG@:by right is 90. by left, if u want a safe margin, 100 is it. dun go beyond. -
i know of cos i know. but surely not to the extent of 50 right???Originally posted by houndy:cause going into a bend at high speed is not the thing to do... -
cam got margin of 10km/h extra usually. of course be guai a bit better.Originally posted by sbst275:But dun get into meet with the cam -
yes.. kallang is 70 (prob due to the road works there. the signs are temp ones) while somewhere along bt timah is 80. there are certain stretches (usu sharp bends that are 80 too). i live in pasir ris, and for this month, need to travel to pasir laba every day. so i see them every morning.Originally posted by Grief:PIE is only 70km/h near Kallang and fixed 80km/h (aft Steven Rd?) with Speed Cam ...
but even with the heavy morning traffic, i mus say the 70 at kallang is quite ludicrous. NO vehicles stick to that limit, not even the leftmost lane, cos its not practical! so i usu go at 90 there. anyway if tio, the WHOLE road will kanna, not only me.

Dun know whether they pan chan or not lor....Originally posted by HENG@:cam got margin of 10km/h extra usually. of course be guai a bit better. -
Just follow the car in front. If got many cars, even u want to speed also cannot.
But if no car, 130 140km/h also can. As long as u slow down when u see speed check camera. -
by the time you see a TP behind you ... its too lateOriginally posted by tErI-yAkI:Just follow the car in front. If got many cars, even u want to speed also cannot.

u try n see, then let us know, ok? thanks!Originally posted by sbst275:Dun know whether they pan chan or not lor.... -
for all expressways i think the speed limit should be 90km/hr but if there are any bends or any roadworks,i think the speed limit will be 80 or even 60 to 70km/hr~and exceeding by 10km/hr shouldn't be a problem i think,but if you happens to see the traffic police just slow down if possible,respecting them would be a wise choice~
-
they are behind you and speed check camera? distance is 300M... by the time you see it is too late already...Originally posted by tErI-yAkI:Just follow the car in front. If got many cars, even u want to speed also cannot.

Oh yeah..one more thing... if you drive a fancy car...e.g. with spoiler etc? or a WRX or an EVO...then I suggest u keep to <=90kmph... coz they'll pay SPECIAL attention to you...
the other extreme is If you're driving a VAN or Lorry..then <=60kmph...or else..all the best! -
Was told by a bus driver that they usually travel at 70-80kmh on the extreme left lane of the expressway even though speed limit for their vehicle is 60kmh usually tp don't book them, unless they try to act smart and travel on other lanes or they travel more than 80kmh.Originally posted by joey2003:Oh yeah..one more thing... if you drive a fancy car...e.g. with spoiler etc? or a WRX or an EVO...then I suggest u keep to <=90kmph... coz they'll pay SPECIAL attention to you...

Conclusion: No matter what vehicle you drive, try not to exceed over 20kmh of the road / vehicle limit, you are probably quite safe, unless the tp are really under quota or major operations, then good luck to you.
