Traffic police to track speeding on BKE by calculating distance travelled & time taken
A trial.
The Singapore traffic police is piloting a new method to monitor speeding on the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE), the police announced in a mid-year road traffic situation report on August 28, 2026. The trial involves the testing and fine-tuning of the Expressway Average Speed Enforcement (EASE) system, which aims to calculate the average speed of vehicles using police cameras at the entry and exit points of an enforcement zone on the expressway.
By determining the distance travelled and the time taken, the EASE system can identify vehicles that exceed the prescribed average speed limit, but no summonses will be issued during the trial phase. The police plan to provide additional details once the system is ready for full implementation. Speed is a crucial factor in road safety, as slower vehicles grant drivers more time to react and avoid accidents, while also reducing the severity of collisions when they do happen, according to the police.
Despite a decline in fatal accidents and fatalities in Singapore from the first half of 2025 to the same period in 2026, the overall number of accidents and casualties has been on the rise, as reported in the police's news release.
