'Your Speed Sign' is a live electronic device that displays the real time speed of vehicles and alerts motorists that they are speeding. It encourages motorists to obey the speed limit displayed and thus improve safety on the roads.
YSS is now part of LTA's range of measures used to improve the safety of roads in accident-prone areas. LTA observed that about 12% more motorists kept to the speed limit at the pilot locations. 72% of motorists surveyed also felt that the YSS is effective in helping them to adjust their driving speed at these locations. To date, it has been implemented at PIE (Changi) exit to Bedok North Road, SLE (BKE) exit to Lentor Ave, and PIE (Tuas) exit to Clementi Ave 6.
To save cost on extensive trenching to lay power cables for YSS, LTA is currently carrying out a trial using solar powered YSS at PIE (Changi) exit to Tampines Ave 5 since the 3rd quarter of 2011.
