Motorcyclists entering Singapore via Woodlands Checkpoint may soon have to conduct their own tests to ensure their vehicles meet the required emission standards here. This is a new enforcement concept that the National Environment Agency (NEA) intends to trial in order...

The trial is to start at the arrival area of Woodlands Checkpoint about 10 months after the tender is awarded.NEA will evaluate the effectiveness of the facility, how user friendly it is, the time taken for each test and its impact on traffic flow.

If successful, the concept can be scaled up, which in turn will allow enforcement efforts to be stepped up, it added.The facility will be able to accommodate two- and three-wheeled motorcycles, and it will have probes that can be inserted into any motorcycle's tailpipe. ST PHOTO: LEE HUP KHENG Between 2017 and 2019, an average of 430 enforcement actions were taken each year against riders with pollutive motorcycles at the two land checkpoints.

NEA added that most of them will be able to meet the tightened standards with proper maintenance. Those who run afoul of these limits may be offered a composition fine ranging from $70 to $150.
