Darthrevan Supercharged January 31, 2013 Share January 31, 2013 Second Minister for Home Affairs S Iswaran said there are some possible areas that the authorities are looking into -- errant drivers could face harsher penalties, while more speed cameras will be installed and more Traffic Police officers will be deployed to make the roads safer. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a visit to the Police Security Command on Thursday, Mr Iswaran highlighted concerns such as speeding and beating the red light. He said the authorities will step up road safety in areas that are more prone to accidents and better protect road users, such as young and elderly pedestrians. Mr Iswaran said besides enforcement and penalties, road users have to be educated. His comments came on the heels of an accident in Tampines on Monday, when two boys died after they were hit by a cement mixer. Asked about a suggestion by Tampines GRC MP Baey Yam Keng to re-route heavy vehicles in residential estates, Mr Iswaran said it is not possible to completely avoid having heavy vehicles going through residential areas. He said heavy vehicle drivers have to understand their responsibilities because the accidents they could be involved in have severe consequences.

Looking forward to see some actions taken and make the road safer for all motorists... Btw, where are te TP ? although its sad to see them stepping up only when some tragic accident happened..i hope the enforcement is not temporary..these 2 days on the roads i've encountered many Volvo TPs..not sure whether its coincidental or really additional enforcement Edited January 31, 2013 by Darthrevan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
