Road safety • Steps already being taken to deter speeding and running of red lights

We refer to the letters by Mr Ho San Cheow (Start putting brakes on speeding now, not later, Dec 16), and Mr Peter Teo Boon Haw (Do more to curb vehicles beating red light too, Dec 22).

- Lin Zhihao (Superintendent of Police) Assistant Director (Media Relations Division)

We agree with the writers that speeding and red-light running are of serious concern. This is why the Traffic Police (TP) has put in place stiff penalties against such offences, including fines, demerit points, driving licence suspension, disqualification from driving, and/or a jail term.

TP has stepped up enforcement against speeding. This includes open and covert patrols, deploying more speed enforcement cameras, and activating the speed enforcement function in red-light cameras.
