those queuing out of taxi stands, watch out!!
SINGAPORE: The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will
install closed circuit television cameras (CCTVs) at 30 locations
to deter illegal parking. The CCTVs will be installed progressively
from the second quarter of 2013.
All of them will be installed by 2014.
The 30 locations are public roads which have a high incidence of
illegal parking, which made it difficult for public buses to
operate.
They include Upper Bukit Timah Road (The Linear), Ardmore Park,
Draycott Park, Commonwealth Avenue West, Serangoon Central and
Bishan Road (Bishan MRT).
The LTA decided to expand the use of CCTVs, after it tried out the
device along Beach Road (in front of Golden Mile Complex) and at
Marine Parade Central (in front of Parkway Parade Shopping
Centre).
The LTA found that they were useful in nabbing people who park
illegally.
