HDB and LTA to monitor more than 80 locations for illegal parking

The Straits Times reported that more than 80 locations across Singapore will be monitored round the clock for illegal parking by September.

The Housing Board installed closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras at 55 carparks late last year - in estates such as Bedok, Choa Chu Kang and Toa Payoh.

Come 14^th April, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) will switch on cameras at 10 more locations where illegal curb-side parking has been rampant. It will add cameras at another 10 locations in June and at 10 more by September. They will operate 24 hours a day.

The HDB and LTA will roll out more cameras if the need arises. The Urban Redevelopment Authority - another major carpark operator - said it has no immediate plans to deploy CCTVs. But a spokesman said, "We will be learning from LTA's experience to consider if we can also deploy similar technology for enforcement."
