ERP 2 can also be used for speeding enforcement, but further enhancements needed: Jeffrey Siow

While the ERP 2 system is designed primarily for payment and charges, it can also be used for enforcement against traffic offences such as speeding, Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow said in a written reply on May 5.

He was responding to a parliamentary question filed by Holland-Bukit Timah GRC Member of Parliament Edward Chia.

Chia had asked if the Ministry of Transport is considering leveraging ERP 2 to monitor and enforce compliance with speed limits in Silver Zones and School Zones.

In his reply, Siow noted that the ERP 2 On-Board Unit supports road safety by providing real-time traffic updates and situational alerts, including notifications for School Zones and Silver Zones.

While ERP 2 can also be used for enforcement against traffic offences such as speeding, further enhancements will be needed, Siow remarked.

"The Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Home Affairs are studying the implementation details," he said.
