Speed limits in Singapore

Generally, the speed limits in Singapore are 50 km/h unless stated otherwise.[1] The speed limit is restricted to 40 km/h in School Zones, and 40 km/h or 30 km/h in Silver Zones.[1][2] Most to all expressways have speed limits of either 80 km/h or 90 km/h.

The significant reduction of motorists as remote work increased resulted in Singapore government increasing speed limits in Singapore on 17 April 2020 for ordinary roads leading to highways, to 90 km/h and expressways to between 100 km/h and 110 km/h, also when train frequencies were reduced. However, speed limits were reverted following increasing accident rates and negative reaction from the public.[3][4]

Offenders who are caught speeding will be fined and/or jailed.[5][6]
