TRAFFIC RULES IN SINGAPORE
It would be a shame if you were fined while in Singapore. Check out our tips on how to enjoy the F1 race in Singapore without spending extra.
SPEED LIMITS
Speed limits: Speed limits are strictly enforced and usually range from 50 km/h (31 mph) in urban areas to 90 km/h (56 mph) on expressways, varying depending on the specific road conditions.
VIGNETTE/TOLL
Singapore does not have toll roads like many other countries. However, Singapore uses an Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) system that charges for the use of certain roads at peak times or in congested areas. The fees vary depending on the time of day and the specific road. The ERP system aims to manage congestion and encourage the use of public transport.
ALCOHOL BEHIND THE WHEEL
Alcohol limit: The legal limit for alcohol in a person's body is 35 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of breath or 80 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood.
WHAT TO DO IF I GET A FINE
Singapore police officers are usually professional and courteous to drivers. They are trained to impartially enforce traffic laws and prioritise public safety on the roads. When dealing with drivers, Singapore police officers usually show patience, respect and professionalism.
However, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) also expects drivers to obey traffic rules and laws. However, if a driver fails to comply with traffic laws and regulations, he or she may be subjected to enforcement measures such as fines or penalties. Police officers can issue warnings, summonses, or even arrest people who endanger public safety by reckless driving or other serious offences.
In general, police officers' behaviour towards drivers is aimed at promoting road safety and maintaining order on the streets, while respecting the rights and dignity of the persons they encounter.
