As far as automobiles are concerned, safety is very important to reduce the occurrence of accidents in speed-restricted zones. It minimizes the loss of property and life. According to the recent surveys, in the past few years, an accident near the school zones, hospital zones and sharp turnings have increased tremendously, because of their hurry to get the targeted place soon. Therefore, controlling vehicle speed has been a crucial issue to be considered. This paper aims to give a practical, compact and simple design to develop an automatic vehicle speed control system, which has to be quickly get implemented in schools, colleges, hospitals, sharp turning zones to reduce the number of accidents. This automated speed controlling system is built using the microcontroller-based platform of the Arduino Uno board. By using Arduino the entire system is controlled. Whenever the vehicle is moving at high speed in restriction zones then an RFID reader will scan that vehicle and automatically controls the speed of the vehicle. After crossing that restriction zone then again, the vehicle moves at its normal speed.
