New 'average speed' cameras on trial along Changi Coastal Road
17 Mar 2014|8,654 views
Unlike with the spot speed cameras in use here since 1992, motorists will have a much harder time evading new technology, which calculates a vehicle's average speed over a stretch to determine if it is breaching the speed limit, reported The Straits Times.
Police installed the first set of 'average speed cameras' as a trial at Changi Coastal Road last November, and they were switched on in January.
The cameras are mounted on two gantry-like structures about 4km apart and were spotted by the local paper, which understands they are capable of monitoring traffic in both directions. Such cameras are used in countries such as Australia, the United States and Britain.
Police would not say how much the camera trial costs, or whether the system will be rolled out to other roads. "The trial is ongoing, and no summons has been issued thus far," a police spokesman said.
