Dhaka police will use video-based monitoring from 21 February to penalise speeding on the Elevated Expressway. While some support stricter enforcement and raising limits to 80 kmph, concerns persist over fairness, transparency, and effective implementation.
The speed limit for cars, buses, and minibuses on expressways would be 80km per hour, while it would be 60kmph for motorcycles and 50kmph for trucks.
Why is it possible to manufacture and advertise a car that goes faster than the maximum allowable speed?
A 20kmph speed limit has been imposed on residential and VIP areas of Dhaka city after 10:00pm.
The government's decision to fix the speed limit of vehicles on highways across the country at 80 kilometres per hour in an attempt to reduce frequent road accidents may have been well-intentioned, but it has left officials at a loss about how to implement it.
