CCTVs to be activated in 10 locations across Singapore starting April 14

SINGAPORE — In an attempt curb illegal parking and improve traffic conditions, Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras will be activated at 10 identified locations across Singapore with effect from April 14, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said today (April 4).

Twenty others locations are also slated to get CCTVs installed by the end of this year.

LTA said that the CCTVs were placed in locations which fell under the following criteria: Public roads where the frequency of committing the offence is high, places where illegal parking could obstruct traffic or endanger pedestrians, and places where there is a high concentration of pedestrian traffic, such as at places near amenities, eateries and popular malls.

The expansion comes after a successful trial of the CCTVs at Beach Road and Marine Parade Central.

LTA said that it will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the CCTVs after implementation and review the need for expansion to other areas.
