The Transport Bureau (DSAT), in coordination with the Public Security Police Force (PSP), has installed 22 fixed speed detection systems and four average speed detection systems at the Macau Bridge.
The systems will come into operation at midnight on Saturday, May 17.
The 26 new devices are installed near the Macau and Taipa sides of the main bridge, on the Pac On bridge access ramps, near the entrance and exit of the main bridge, and in the exclusive lane for motorcycles.
Authorities say the speed detection system aims to combat speeding offenses and ensure road safety.
In a joint statement, DSAT and PSP warned drivers that the Macau Bridge has different speed limits for various road sections, ranging from 80 km/h to 40 km/h, including some access ramps and tunnels, as well as the exclusive lane for motorcycles.
Information signs with the corresponding speed limits have been installed, and authorities are urging drivers to pay close attention to these signs.
According to the Road Traffic Law, drivers who violate the speed limit on the Macau Bridge will face a fine ranging from MOP600 to MOP20,000 and may also be banned from driving if they commit a repeat or serious speeding offense.
