Strict action from 2026 against owners of lorries without speed limiters
The Straits Times
|November 25, 2025
They may face prosecution; non-compliant lorries will also be barred from being driven
Speed limiters prevent speeding violations and reduce the risk of accidents. In total, about 17,000 eligible lorries, including newer models, are required to install the mandatory speed limiters by July 2027. ST FILE PHOTO
Owners of older models of lorries who do not install speed limiters in their vehicles before Jan 1, 2026, risk prosecution if caught, said the Singapore Police Force (SPF) in a statement on Nov 24.
As at Nov 14, some 30 per cent of these owners have yet to install such devices despite numerous reminders by the Traffic Police (TP) through SMSes, emails and letters, said SPF.
Companies with heavy vehicles with a maximum laden weight (MLW) of between 3,50Ikg and 12,000kg began installing speed limiters from January 2024. Vehicle owners had been given two to three years to install the device.
In total, about 17,000 eligible lorries, including newer models, are required to install the mandatory speed limiters by July 2027.
