SG: Revised ERP rates for June

The police will be installing more speed cameras in a list of 140 shortlisted roads that span from expressways to the small roads in neighbourhoods. They hope the speed cameras can help to encourage safe driving, and stress that it is not collect fines from unsuspecting drivers. The police warn against drivers who slam on their brakes in the vicinity of a speed camera, for this can cause accidents. Some of the roads to be equipped with the cameras include various roads in the Housing Board estates in Choa Chu Kang, Pasir Ris, Tampines, Woodlands and Yishun, and residential enclaves in Serangoon Garden and Picadilly Circus near Seletar. All roads mentioned have speed limits of 50km/h.Pictures used for illustration purposes only.

The police intend to swap out their aged film cameras for digital ones. Their trial batch of digital cameras have proved relatively successful, having caught 1,175 motorists for beating the red lights, roughly 3 months since it was erected. The original trial batch spans 5 junctions, and so far, almost 30 have received the upgrade, with all 240 sets to be replaced by June of 2015.   The digital cameras enable the cops to remotely retrieve footage of the offenders. They also don’t have to replace the film on the camera once they run out.Pictures used for illustration purposes only.

Golf Buggies outfitted with $30,000 worth of equipment will form Singapore's first driverless vehicles for the public. The buggies will go on trial at the Chinese and Japanese Gardens in Jurong. Each vehicle has been programmed to travel a certain route and avoid collisions. So far, they are only mapped to travel on the footpaths at the 2 gardens, totalling an area of about 26 football pitches, although more routes will eventually be mapped. Rides on the buggies are free of charge, in hope that people will more readily accept a driverless vehicle.  Pictures used for illustration purposes only.
