Expressways in Singapore are dedicated roads that enable motorists to travel at high speeds from one urban area to another without traffic lights or traffic junctions.[1] They are designed with wide dual carriageways and multiple lanes in each direction.
Construction on the first expressway, the Pan Island Expressway, started in 1966.[2] Other expressways were built and opened progressively in stages, with the Marina Coastal Expressway being the most recent to open, in 2013.[3]
All open expressways have a maximum speed limit of 90km/h, and between 70km/h and 80km/h in expressway tunnels.[4] Pedestrians, personal mobility devices (PMDs) and selected vehicles are not allowed on expressways.[5]
