Motorcycle Owners being Summoned for Illegal Parking at Carparks or Service Roads

Mr Zainal Sapari asked the Minister for National Development (a) whether there has been an increasing trend of motorcycle owners being summoned for illegal parking at carparks or service roads in the last three years; and (b) whether HDB will consider providing designated motorcycle parking lots next to the loading and unloading bays, near HDB flats, to allow short-term parking for delivery riders given the increasing trend of home deliveries.

In 2016, 2017 and 2018, the number of parking offence notices issued to motorcyclists for illegal parking at HDB estates was around 25,000, 28,000 and 21,000 respectively. There is no clear trend of an increase.

Motorcyclists making home deliveries should use the loading and unloading bays which are intended for such quick loading and unloading activities. There is therefore no need to provide additional motorcycle lots to cater to such uses.
