First it was the Land Transport Authority. Now the Housing Board is installing closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras to deter illegal parking.

 

It plans to put them up near service roads and loading bays around HDB carparks in areas including Bedok, Toa Payoh and Sengkang.

 

Motorists parking illegally will face fines ranging from $25 to $200, depending on vehicle type.

 

An HDB spokesman told The Straits Times the cameras will be installed in 55 areas from the second quarter of this year.

support !!

I only 1/2 support ... -_-

 

cos... at certain places (my working place) there are no open parking around the HDB blocks and MSCP is about 400 meters away from the coffee shop. Usually park along the main road or HDB loading/unloading bays to buy 'teh-si' kosong. If installed, I have to forgo my favourite 'teh-si' kosong stall .... [:(]

 

Recently, traffic warden also frequent the main road with camera snapping away happily ... :o

If that the case, will SingPost re-install their 'Post Box' in HDB areas ?

 

Most of them along main road and with camera, how to post whilst stopping by the road side.... [:(]

Hmmm... it will also be a good move to monitor all those "handicap" parking lots then. See if the car contains any genuinely handicapped people or not??

 

I think loading/unloading bay is also a good place to put cameras. Some people driving commercial vehicles also like to park there although no genuine loading/unloading activities being done.

 

It may also protect drivers (of normal vehicles, e.g. cars) who have genuine case of unloading/loading to do, in places which are only served by MSCP. I have been fined before by over-enthusiastic enforcement officers while unloading heavy items after a shopping trip - just because I was not driving a lorry, I think! But got the fines waived, luckily. If there was camera footage, would've been easier for them to check.
