Summonses for Heavy Vehicles Parked Illegally

Er Dr Lee Bee Wah asked the Minister for Transport (a) what action has been taken against heavy vehicles as trucks and container trucks which are parked overnight along busy roads instead of at designated parking zones; and (b) how many offenders have been booked over the past two years.

Mr Lui Tuck Yew: Under the Vehicle Parking Certificate (VPC) Scheme, heavy vehicles are required to secure a parking lot in an authorised Heavy Vehicle Park. Heavy vehicles must be parked overnight in the designated parking lots when not in use.

LTA has consistently taken enforcement actions against heavy vehicles found parked at non-designated locations. The average number of summonses issued for the past two years is 2,200 per year.
