Social media shared information claiming that police would start average speed detection from 1 Feb 2026. The Highway Police clarified this is not true; they still use point speed detection with ASE camera systems, which send data to control centers for officers to issue tickets.
On 29 Jan 2026, reporters reported that social media circulated claims that the Highway Police Division would implement average speed detection measures starting 1 February 2026.
Recently, the Highway Police Division clarified that such information is completely untrue. The Highway Police have no plans to implement measures of this kind. However, they continue to enforce speed detection measures to ensure road safety according to international standards by using point speed detection measures at high-risk locations on the roads. They use ASE (Automatic Speed Enforcement) camera systems—automatic speed detection cameras that use radar to continuously monitor vehicle speeds. If a vehicle exceeds the legal speed limit, the system automatically photographs the vehicle and its license plate, then sends the data to a control center for officers to issue tickets immediately.
The cameras are installed at locations nationwide that are prone to accidents. These measures aim to enhance safety and reduce accident statistics as well as losses on the roads.
If anyone has doubts about a traffic ticket received, wants more information, or needs assistance on the road, they can contact the Highway Police at 1193, available 24 hours a day.
