LTA to install CCTVs at 30 locations to deter illegal parking

[ac323]

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will install closed circuit television cameras (CCTVs) at 30 locations to deter illegal parking. The CCTVs will be installed progressively from the second quarter of 2013.

All of them will be installed by 2014.

The 30 locations are public roads which have a high incidence of illegal parking, which made it difficult for public buses to operate.

They include Upper Bukit Timah Road (The Linear), Ardmore Park, Draycott Park, Commonwealth Avenue West, Serangoon Central and Bishan Road (Bishan MRT).

The LTA decided to expand the use of CCTVs, after it tried out the device along Beach Road (in front of Golden Mile Complex) and at Marine Parade Central (in front of Parkway Parade Shopping Centre).

The LTA found that they were useful in nabbing people who parked illegally and helped improve traffic conditions over time.

Unfortunately that is due to inconsiderate motorists in Singapore. If you obey the rules, why worry?

No lah, just IMO, spending money to hire more civil servant TP to patrol the road to improve safety is better.

When I illegal park, I will take out my wheel clamp and clamp my own front right wheel so no summon because when 'summon-person' comes, they see they think I tio liao and leave my ride alone

Why waste money on such camera? Just increase the fine to $1,000 for illegal parking at area that do not allow stopping and waiting.

Re: LTA to install CCTVs at 30 locations to deter illegal parking

Previous to this, I got a summon for parking ($70) at Geylang Lor 27, no wardens in sight.

I stopped by the coffeeshop and made a delivery to my friend's coffee shop (pass him something), everything less than 2 minutes. In 2 weeks' time, I got a summon by mail.

Lucky I did not park at the jagged yellow lines but at the parallel line area, if not the fine would be much more.

I reckon there are already cameras on the lamp posts in that street.

Just be careful.
