Data on Offenders of Road Traffic (Pedestrian Crossings) Rules and Punishments Received

Mr Dennis Tan Lip Fong asked the Minister for Home Affairs in each year of the last five years (a) how many people have been punished for breaches of Rules 6, 9, 10 and 11 of the Road Traffic (Pedestrian Crossings) Rules; and (b) what has been the range of punishments they received.

The figures requested by the Member are in Table 1 below.

A motorist caught for any of the above offences will either be issued a warning or offered a composition sum ranging between $100 and $250, depending on the offence type. A motorist who has committed a Rule 6 offence will, in addition, receive four or six demerit points, depending on the type of the offending vehicle.
