Re: TP's new digital camera
You're probably better at this than I am, though I thought I saw a 90km/h sign just before the Stevens exit.
However, my point is why lower the speed on a straight? Even is there is a slight ascent and descent before the cams, lowering the speeds by 10km/h is not going to help anyone.
Same goes for the KPE, just before the cams, speeds are lowered to 70km/h for?
If they want to create awareness of a speed camera, they should make the speed camera/trap sign more prominent like in all other countries (well, 1st world countries at least). Some of these signs are always obstructed.

Re: TP's new digital camera
My guess is because of the number of slopes and a sharp corner later at steven road's area. Even at 80km/h, there are many accidents at that stretch of road. I was lucky enough to escape from one accident during wet weather when 2 cars away, the driver did not manage to brake in time, hitting the car behind me.
KPE there is only one bend with 70km/h speed camera, that's a sharp bend. The rest are all 80km/h.
But of course human nature is such that when you see a 80km/h speed camera, you will hit the brakes and drive at 70. That's the irritating part and one of the main factor why shitty accidents occur. Especially the one at AYE NUS -> Changi's speed camera.

Re: TP's new digital camera
Absolutely agree with you. The TP has already made known (when the KPE opened and the 70km/h trigger fiasco happened - I was one of the 2000 over drivers summoned that day) that the typical trigger point is 15-20km/h.
Even with bad calibration, your speedo cannot be off by more than 20km/h (but if it is, you can really fight the case with TP, bring your car down to them to verify) so I don't understand why motorists must slow down so drastically.
Now with the new cameras on the PIE, motorists slow down to ridiculous speeds like 50km/h or worse 40km/h (PIE to Tuas in the mornings) on the right most lane! Almost every day when I use that expressway, I can hear cars e-braking, horning, flashing lights. Inevitably, it causes congestions and provide statistics that the stretch of road falls under the "Need ERP" category cos the speed are so low.

Lane hogging is on the rise as cars are afraid of getting caught for speeding!

All I know is that on this side of the Causeway, my LIM button is seeing a lot more use than my M1 button. :angry:

Sighs. I've been "caught" a few times. Fortunately, first time kenna warning.

this is much worse than speeding, imo
