Speed limits in Indonesia

Indonesia employs a maximum and minimum speed limit, even though it is more like recommendation rather than a rule.

The general speed limits are as follows:

  • In highways is 60–80 km/h (37–50 mph) for inner city highway and 60–100 km/h (37–62 mph) for outer city highway.[1]
  • In intercity roads is 40–80 km/h (25–50 mph)).[2]
  • In metropolitan area, the maximum speed is 50 km/h (31 mph).[2]
  • In countryside and settlements area, the maximum speed is 30 km/h (19 mph).[2]

Since April 2022, speed cameras are used to enforce speed limits on toll roads in Indonesia.[3] Speeding violations are penalized with an electronic ticket.[4] These speed cameras also monitor for vehicle capacity violations.[5]
