It is an offence for motorists to drive or leave a vehicle on a Bus Lane during restricted hours or not to give way to buses or stay in a Bus Priority Box. Between January and August 2017, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) enforcement officers, through the help of cameras, detected around 13,000 Bus Lane infringements and 700 Bus Priority Box infringements. This is a 30% and 70% reduction respectively, compared to the same period in 2016.

Information on the schemes is regularly broadcasted on LTA Traffic News and presented on the LTA and One.Motoring websites. To further increase public awareness of the schemes, banners are also put up at affected locations to alert and remind motorists.
