Anyone know what is the speed limit for the Bartley Rd East overhead viaduct, near Kaki Bt VICOM?

 

Was there on Sat, light traffic and smooth ride, so was cruising along...then suddenly saw a TP at there pointing gun!

 

Those overhead viaduct cannot be 50km/h right?

Thought 50km/h is more for those small road, heavy traffic type.

If you key in Bartley Rd East in the following website, it says 50 km/h is the limit.

I really suspect if it is really 50km/h.

Could it be that there is a diff for the overhead viaduct vs the ground level road?

 

A bit diffcult to undetstand how the overhead viaduct with smooth moving traffic be slower than some of the heavy traffic road that are at 60km/h.

 

I was going at 80 and was overtaken by car!

i am quite sure the BTT book says 60km/h on normal roads, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED BY SPEED LIMIT SIGNS.

so always keep a lookout for these signs, especially along hot zones frequented by TP

e.g. Tampines Ave 1 in front of Temasek Poly.

 

drive safe!

I thought some time ago on CNA, the TP says normal speed limit on road is 50km/h unless indicated otherwise iirc..... [confused]

how interesting that many of us (including myself!) dunno the answer to this fundamental question.

problem is how can people follow speed limit when there is not even signs on road to tell you the speed limit~ and expect people to know....

 

guess everyone is speeding if it's 50 km/h cause no one travels at 50~ most of the times

I wouldn't sweat it, law enforcement for speeding is very lax here!

 

Most cars often go at 70 on 50 roads, I was checking the One Motoring site, and there is pdf which gives speed limits for all roads in Singapore.

 

Speed Limits for all roads

 

Did you know Mount Pleasant Road is only 40km/h???? I often do 70 or 80 there!!!

Quite alot of overhead viaducts speed limit is 70km/h. Have the signs there. Only those very short ones don't have. Those is 50km/h.

Normally can see the speed limit at the 3rd lampost after every junction

Instead of a single number (50, 60, 70, 80 or 90) they should put up a range. 1 number for lower and 1 number for upper. Unless your car's speed is controlled by a robot, it is impossible to constantly keep to a single speed. Having a lower range also serves as a warning to road hoggers who think that as long as below speed limit is ok (like 60kph on a 90kph highway)
