Singapore is trialling average speed cameras on the Changi coastal road, which has been the site of many accidents, despite the speed limit being sent to 70 km/hour.
Spot speed cameras have been in use since 1992, but motorists will have a much harder time evading the new technology, which calculates a vehicle's average speed over a stretch to determine if it is breaching the speed limit.
The cameras are mounted on gantries at two different locations about four kilometres apart.
Singapore Road Safety Council vice-chairman Gopinath Menon described them as ‘a fairer method’ of enforcing speed limits.
