10 more locations to have CCTVs to deter illegal parking

SINGAPORE — The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will install Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras at 10 more locations from Sept 22 to deter illegal parking, bringing the total number of public roads with CCTVs to 30.

In a press release today (Sept 17), the LTA said that the location of the cameras had been chosen based on such considerations as the frequency of illegal parking cases, the number of public bus services in that area, the amount of pedestrians and road users in the area, and their proximity to areas like malls, amenities and eateries.

All CCTV monitoring zones are clearly demarcated by parking restriction lines as well as signs to highlight their presence, said the LTA. In addition, available lamp posts or sign posts within the zones are painted with a vertical strip in a bright orange colour.

All 30 locations will be monitored by CCTVs for parking offences on a 24 hour basis.

Since the installation of CCTVs at 20 locations in the first two phases of this initiative, the LTA has said that it has seen varying degrees if improvement in traffic conditions along these roads as they are no longer impeded by indiscriminately parked vehicles.

The 10 new CCTVs will be located at:

Beach Road (at Golden Mile Food Centre)

River Valley Road (in front of Spize, Boon Tong Kee)

Tanjong Katong Road (near Parkstone Road)

Woodlands Ave 7 (Admiralty MRT)

North Bridge Road (opp and along Bugis Junction)

Jalan Besar (Eminent Plaza)

Punggol Road (junction of Pungol Central)

Sembawang Road (Jalan Lengkok Sembawang)

Serangoon Road (Tekka Centre)

Upper Serangoon Road (junction of Simon Road & Florence Road)
