OBU alerts to show parking enforcement camera zones at 8 locations: LTA

Motorists will receive alerts from their vehicle's on-board units (OBUs) when driving near eight existing parking enforcement camera zones from Friday (Aug 28), the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said.

This is part of a trial to remind motorists to park responsibly and may be expanded to more locations in future, the authority said. 

The eight locations are: 

• Upper Aljunied Road (near Jalan Mulia)
• Tampines Central 4 (near Tampines MRT)
• Yishun Central Service Road
• Kramat Road (near Cuppage Plaza)
• Tew Chew Street (near The Central)
• Sinaran Drive (near Novena Square)
• Mount Elizabeth (near High Point)
• Lorong Liput (near Holland Village Market and Food Centre)

According to LTA, the alerts are proximity-based reminders and will not result in enforcement notices being issued. 

Other updates in the works

Meanwhile, updates to two existing alerts are also underway, the authority said.

These include indicating speed limits on current OBU alerts to remind motorists to slow down at Silver Zones, Friendly Streets and School Zones.

In these places, the speed limit of 40kmh will be indicated along with the current reminder to "slow down" or "drive carefully". 

Another planned upgrade is the display of bus lane operation time in OBU alerts. 

These will be progressively rolled out in the coming months, LTA added.
