Over 15,000 speeding infringements recorded in two months

A total of 15,589 speeding infringements were recorded nationwide between 1st September and 28th October this year, according to the Land Transport Authority (LTA).

LTA Chief Executive Officer Irimaia Rokosawa said the alarming figures were captured by portable speed cameras deployed across the country, highlighting the continued disregard for road safety.

He said speeding remains the leading cause of road fatalities this year, with 37 of the 62 deaths recorded as of 29th October 2025 linked to speeding.

Of the 12 portable speed cameras rolled out in September, the Western Division recorded the highest number of infringements at 8,624, followed by the Central-Eastern Division with 5,314, and the Northern Division with 1,651.

Mr Rokosawa said that while portable speed cameras were introduced to curb reckless driving and save lives, many drivers continue to ignore the law.

“Such behaviour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. The Authority reminds drivers that speed limits are not optional guidelines but enforceable laws designed to save lives,” he said.

From 1st January to 23rd October, the LTA cancelled 19 driver licences and suspended 48 following continued non-compliance with traffic regulations.

During the same period, 95 drivers were counselled, and 3,233 first warnings, 802 second warnings, and 429 final warnings were issued.

Mr Rokosawa reiterated that drivers have a responsibility to obey speed limits at all times — not only when they see a camera sign.
