29 Sep 2016|2,637 views
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras will be gradually deployed at 60 more locations to deter illegal parking from 6th October. There are now 70 places monitored by CCTVs and this will rise to 130 locations by the end of 2017. Seven new locations have been identified, where the cameras will start operating from 6th October:
1. Benoi Road (both directions, near FairPrice Hub)
2. Joo Koon Circle (Joo Koon MRT, near FairPrice Hub)
3. Lim Teck Kim Road (opposite Genting Centre)
4. Sengkang East Way (near Compass One) and Sengkang Square (near Kopitiam Square and Sengkang MRT/LRT)
5. Woodlands Avenue 3 (Marsiling MRT, both directions)
6. Woodlands Centre Road (before Woodlands Train Checkpoint)
7. Yishun Central Service Road (both sides)
Updates on new CCTV locations will be posted on the LTA's one.motoring website. Traffic conditions have improved at many sites where CCTVs are in use, the LTA said. The daily average number of parking summonses in each area has gone down from 30 to three a day by end 2015, it added. "Inconsiderate illegal parking can obstruct and prevent vulnerable pedestrians, particularly young children, seniors, and users of mobility aids from crossing the road safely," the LTA said.
"Illegally parked vehicles can also restrict the vision of other motorists by blocking their view of pedestrians who are crossing the road." Illegal parking near bus stops endangers the safety of commuters, the LTA said. To identify CCTV monitoring zones, look out for lamp posts or sign posts with bright orange vertical strips. The LTA has also installed 'No Waiting' signs at passenger pickup points with CCTV cameras, such as near Bishan and Clementi MRT stations, to remind motorists that they are not allowed to wait at these pickup locations.
