Dhaka police will use video-based monitoring from 21 February to penalise speeding on the Elevated Expressway. While some support stricter enforcement and raising limits to 80 kmph, concerns persist over fairness, transparency, and effective implementation.

The problem lies in the lack of clarity regarding the type of speed cameras installed and their operational status.

A major part of the Dhaka Elevated Expressway will finally open to traffic in September, more than a decade after the project was initiated to ease the capital’s perennial traffic congestion.
