In three weeks, more than 800 speeding violations were captured by the speed enforcement function in red-light cameras.
The Traffic Police have been progressively activating the function in red-light cameras islandwide since April 1, and said the number of violations was tallied as at April 21.
The red-light cameras have always had the speed enforcement function, but it was activated only after the number of speeding-related fatal accidents spiked to 33 cases in 2023, up by more than 80 per cent from the 18 cases in 2022.
The locations of four different types of speed enforcement cameras are available on the police website.
The locations of red-light cameras are also available on the website, with 240 locations listed and 12 pending relocation as at April 12.
Speaking to the media at the Traffic Police Headquarters in Ubi on April 29, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) William Foo, the officer in charge of the Traffic Police's Surveillance Camera Unit, said activating the function has expanded the suite of enforcement equipment against speed violators.
