be more careful....
SINGAPORE - The first 5 units of the Digital Traffic Red Light
Camera System have been installed and tested at their respective
locations. They will begin operations from Mar 1, 2014 at
12.01am.
In Dec 2013, the Traffic Police posted on their Facebook page about
the commencement of the installation, testing process, and the
locations of these units.
The locations are at Victoria St by Arab St towards Lavender St,
Victoria St by Ophir Road towards Bras Basah Road, Victoria St by
Rochor Road towards Lavender St, Lavender St by Jalan Besar towards
Balestier Road, and Ophir Road by Beach Road towards ECP.
Enhanced detection capabilities
The new digital cameras do not require constant reloading and
retrieval of the wet-film negatives for back-end processing and are
designed to stay operational 24/7 to detect motorists who attempt
to beat the red light.
Beating the red light can potentially result in accidents causing
injuries, or even the loss of innocent lives.
The Traffic Police would like to remind all motorists that beating
a red light attracts a fine and 12 demerit points against the
traffic offender.
Beat the red light twice within 24 months and your license will be
suspended as you would have accumulated 24 demerit points.
Commander of Traffic Police, Assistant Commissioner of Police
Cheang Keng Keong, said, "Whether or not there is a traffic red
light camera installed at a junction, one should never attempt to
beat the red light. You may be able to shave off some time but you
run the greater risk of getting involved in an accident. That is
also the spirit of Safer Roads Singapore, where we hope to make
safe and courteous road use habitual and instinctive. Every Life
Matters. Let us recognise the impact of our own behaviour on road
safety and do our part."
