Locations that are more accident-prone or violation-prone will be prioritised for the activation.

A red-light camera deployed along Jurong West Street 61 on Feb 22, 2024. It is used to detect vehicles that commit red-light running offences.

They are prominently painted in orange and white. Warning signs with speed limits are also placed before traffic camera enforcement zones.The proportion of fatal accidents due to speeding also increased to 25.2 per cent in 2023 from 17.3 per cent in 2022.The number of speeding violations detected by traffic enforcement cameras decreased by 28.6 per cent from 73,152 cases in 2022 to 52,237 cases in 2023.

"This shows that while traffic enforcement cameras are effective in deterring speeding violations, motorists still choose to speed at locations where they think no one is watching," said the police. The composition sums and demerit points for certain traffic offences will be increased to serve as a stronger deterrence against errant drivers, the police said in February. More details will be announced later this year.
