Enforcement Actions to Address Illegal U-turns and Zebra Crossing Violations

Mr Edward Chia Bing Hui asked the Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs (a) whether the Ministry will consider installing cameras to enforce against illegal U-turns; and (b) what is the latest average monthly deployment of enforcement personnel to address illegal U-turns and zebra crossing violations.

Mr K Shanmugam: The Traffic Police (TP) will roll out new Traffic Violation Enforcement Cameras by 2026. These cameras will enhance enforcement against various traffic violations, including illegal U-turns.

TP deploys officers islandwide, with a focus on accident-prone locations and violation hotspots. They do not focus only on illegal U-turns and zebra crossing violations. The number of officers deployed varies, depending on operational needs and manpower constraints.
