Paya Lebar and Kaki Bukit will have their speed limits revised with
effect from 1 September 2005. Please see

|
This is the second phase of the nationwide
speed limit review which started in April 2005, and is expected to be
completed by December 2005. |
|
The first phase saw changes in the speed
limits for 16 stretches of roads in Woodlands, Sembawang and Yishun from
1 June 2005 . Please see
Annex B for background information on the island-wide Speed
Limit Review. |

Responsibility of Road Users |
|
While the speed limits of the roads have
been raised, motorists should continue to exercise their judgment and
adjust their speeds accordingly where necessary, so as to ensure their
safety and that of other road users. |
|
Speeding remains one of the main causes of
accidents. Driving or riding beyond the stipulated speed limits
increases the likelihood of serious injuries in the event of an
accident. Life is precious. Use the roads responsibly. Together, we can
make our roads safer. |
