Speed limit for expressways should be reviewed

The New Paper

I THINK it is time for the Land Transport Authority to review the speed limit on our expressways and increase it to 110kmh.

The present 90kmh is just too slow on our roads, which are better lit and in better condition than those in neighbouring countries.

I totally agree with Street Talk columnist Reggie J (The New Paper, 2 Oct) that the LTA should do more to educate our drivers on road manners and cultivate good driving habits.

I have come across stalled cars and trucks left on the road without any signal to indicate their presence.

I have also come across accident vehicles in the middle of the road without their hazard lights on, or any other warning to approaching motorists.

And less dangerous perhaps, but no less annoying: how some drivers block left-turning lanes by waiting too far behind other cars at junctions.

My suggestion is that the LTA should engage Jack Neo to do a short film to educate the public.
