Singapore's New Regulation 2024
Speed Limiters Now Mandatory for Selected Vehicles
Singapore now mandates speed limiters on certain vehicles from 2024 to reduce road accidents and improve safety. Affecting around 32,000 vehicles, this move targets excessive speeding—linked to many fatalities—while also boosting fuel efficiency and lowering maintenance costs.
Who is affected:
- Commercial vehicles over 3.5 tonnes
- Existing and newly registered vehicles in these categories
Key Requirements:
- Vehicles must be fitted with LTA-approved speed limiter devices.
- Owners must ensure proper installation, maintenance, and functionality.
- Devices will be checked during routine LTA vehicle inspections.
Enforcement:
- Non-compliance may lead to failed inspections, fines, or license revocation.
- Enforcement will be phased in, giving operators time to retrofit vehicles.
