Thirty cameras to be installed to crack down on illegal parking in Singapore

Ten closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras designed to crack down on illegal parking at selected locations will be activated on April 14, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said.

A total of 30 cameras will be installed at the locations, with the remaining 20 to be up by the end of the year.

The CCTV cameras will operate round the clock daily, and prominent signs will be put up in the monitoring zones to remind motorists not to park illegally.

Illegal parking is the top complaint the LTA receives.

Here are the locations of the first 10:

• Beach Road (near Golden Mile Complex)
• Marine Parade Central (near Parkway Parade)
• Upper Bukit Timah Road (after The Linear)
• Ardmore Park, Draycott Park (near Ardmore Park and JC Draycott)
• Commonwealth Avenue West (Clementi MRT station, in both directions of the road)
• Serangoon Central (Serangoon MRT station, near Nex)
• Boon Lay Way (Boon Lay MRT station, near Jurong Point)
• Bishan Road (Bishan MRT station)
• Jurong Gateway Road (around Jurong East Central, near Jurong East MRT station)
• Jurong West Street 63 (Pioneer MRT station)

Do not park illegally in the vicinity of these locations, as the cameras are made to monitor the roads closely. Along Beach Road, more than one camera is installed along the stretch of the road. We can expect the same for the remainder of the roads.

This is implemented to ease traffic congestion in the long run.
