Traffic Police to consider installing more cameras at problematic junctions

Posted: 12 November 2012 2025 hrs

 

SINGAPORE: The Traffic Police (TP) periodically reviews the deployment of red light cameras based on ground assessment, and will consider installing additional cameras at problematic junctions if needed.

 

Deputy Prime Minister and Home Affairs Minister, Teo Chee Hean said the Traffic Police deploys red light cameras at road junctions that are identified to be problematic based on accident data and public feedback.

 

Traffic junctions that do not have red light cameras installed are supported by mobile enforcement operations.

 

Mr Teo said the Traffic Police will also be upgrading its current fleet of cameras to digital technology in the near future to allow for more effective enforcement and deterrence against motorists who beat the red lights.

 

In a written reply to a question in Parliament, Mr Teo said the Traffic Police takes a firm and active enforcement stand against such motorists.

 

In the first nine months of this year, the Traffic Police detected 13,881 red-light violations, an increase of three per cent from the 13,490 violations detected over the same period in 2011.

 

While enforcement and penalties are needed, the Traffic Police will also continue with its efforts to educate motorists about road safety.
