Thanks to the strict laws against drink driving in Singapore, the number of violations from January to September have gone down from last year.
The number of road deaths and traffic violations is down markedly, the latest mid-year statistics from the Traffic Police show.
More than 700,000 outstanding summonses were issued for traffic offences involving foreign motorists, including 500,000 from Singapore since 2010.
There were fewer bus lane violations this year, and the Land Transport Authority is working to fit more buses with cameras to clamp down on these incidents.
LTA is reviewing penalties for violating MRT rules after a student was fined $400 for charging her mobile phone from an electrical socket at a station.
As part of the Safer Roads Singapore initiative, the local traffic police will monitor heavy vehicle traffic more closely for traffic violations.
Higher traffic police road presence, increased red light cameras and higher emphasis on road safety programmes are some strategies for safer roads here.
