👮🏻 Last week, we booked 85 vehicles at Serangoon and Ang Mo Kio for various parking offences. These offences include parking on:
🚫 Road with continuous white line
🚫 Road with continuous double white lines 🚫 Road with unbroken double yellow lines 🚫 Footways
 
💡 Parking refers to stopping a vehicle other than immediately picking up or dropping off passengers, goods or luggage. A waiting vehicle is considered parked, even if the driver is present or the engine is running. 
 
🚨 LTA will continue to act against illegal parking activities. Offenders can face penalties and/or demerit points based on their vehicles and violation type. First time offenders face fines up to $300 while repeat offenders face higher penalties. 
 
For your safety and others, park your vehicles at designated parking spaces.🚗 Learn more about illegal parking offences on the OneMotoring website.🔗

Some of our Travel Guardians are part of 'The Night Watch', patrolling the streets, keeping a keen eye and ear out for illegally modified vehicles. 🚔🌙

Common offences such as modified exhausts, overly tinted windows, and decorative lamps can affect the safety of vehicles' occupants, and other road users.

Beyond their enforcement duties, our officers also educate users on the responsible use of their vehicles to ensure safer roads for everyone. 👮‍♂️🛣️
