KUALA LUMPUR: The speed limit along federal and state roads will be reduced by 10kmph from Aug 12 to Aug 26 during the festive season, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha.
Hence, he said the speed limit along federal roads would be 80kmph and state roads, 70kmph, for two weeks as a measure to reduce accidents during the festive season.
Speaking to reporters after launching the Aidilfitri Integrated Road Safety Campaign at the South Integrated Terminal here Thursday, he said heavy commercial vehicles other than those ferrying perishable goods were barred from using expressways on Aug 17, 18, 25 and 26.
On the Automated Enforcement System (AES), he said it was still at the trial stage and was expected to be fully operational later this year.
He said the system had been installed at 10 blackspots and was being tested before they come into operation in stages.
As a warning to motorists, notice boards on zone speed cameras will be put up within 2km from the location, he added. - Bernama

The list of supposedly AES locations bandied over the Internet lately is an old speed trap compilation.
As mentioned above, there are only 10 blackspots with AES so far. And unlike the usual speed traps whereby our PDRM ambushes you, the AES locations will be supplemented with notice boards warning motorists about the presence of a speed camera. This should make it easier to spot and report.
You are right Bro wwloon. We have to identify the "real" AES and the old speed traps which we already have in cPOI.
Do you have the co-ords of the 10 blackspot to enable our Mappers to start the ball rolling?
