Singaporeans want more CCTVs after Islandwide CCTV trial proves successful.
It is not uncommon to see an illegally parked car. While some drivers may have parked their car illegally but out of the way of others, the majority of offenders often blocks the main roads just so that they can save their own time and parking fee, without sparing a thought for others. Over the years, many different methods have been employed to clamp down on those who park illegally, but the one that has proven to be the most effective so far is through the installation of the CCTV cameras. The Land Transport Authority's recent trial with CCTV cameras at Beach Road and Marine Parade Central has proven to be a great success, with monthly summons rising to 1,400 from 200.
Now that the trial has succeeded, Singaporeans are urging the LTA to install CCTVs at illegal parking hotspots. The use of such a system optimises resources required for parking enforcement and improves traffic flow.
As of the 18th of March 2013, 30 locations have been shortlisted for the installation of such a system. The locations have been selected based on various criteria, such as a constant and high incidence of illegal parking throughout the day, whether the illegal parking affects the flow of public buses and whether they raise safety concerns for pedestrians and road users which may lead to chronic traffic congestion.
Two tenders for the installation and operation of the CCTVs have already been called. The CCTVs would operate round the clock daily. As a reminder, prominent signages advising motorists not to park illegally will be put up in the monitoring zones.
