Mr Alvin Yeo asked the Minister for Transport how will the system of increasing fines for repeat car-parking offences be applied in residential areas where there are insufficient car-parking facilities for residents' vehicles.

Lui Tuck Yew

Illegal parking poses a threat to the safety of other motorists and pedestrians and impedes traffic flow. With effect from 1 January 2015, all motorists who repeat an illegal parking offence within 12 months will pay a higher tier of fines. This is to serve as a stronger deterrent and applies to illegal parking along any public road, including those in private residential estates.

If there are parking issues in private residential estates, the community and grassroots Advisers may engage the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to discuss appropriate parking schemes.
