11 vehicles leaving S'pore made to U-turn & re-queue at Woodlands Checkpoint, 12 referred to traffic police over 3 days

A total of 18 motorists were caught between Apr. 3 and 5 after officers from the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) conducted stepped-up traffic enforcement operations at Woodlands Checkpoint.

The operations were aimed at deterring and detecting motorists who commit traffic offences and engage in queue cutting and other dangerous road behaviour.

At departure

At departure, a total of 15 motorists were caught committing traffic offences.

These included crossing double white lines, making illegal right turns, traffic light violations, and stopping in positions likely to cause danger, obstruction or undue inconvenience, or to have cut queues.

A total of 11 vehicles were directed to make a U-turn and re-queue.

Four drivers of foreign-registered vehicles were subjected to entry ban into Singapore for offences, such as crossing double white lines, as well as queue cutting.

A total of 12 motorists were referred to the Traffic Police (TP) for further action.

At arrival, three motorists committed traffic offences, such as crossing double white lines.

All of them were referred to TP for further action.

ICA said it takes a very serious view of motorists who violate traffic laws or do not comply with our officers’ instructions at the checkpoints, and thus compromise the safety of other motorists.

It will not hesitate to take firm actions against them.
