Parking Rules & Regulations

Under the Road Traffic Act, “Park” means to bring a motor vehicle or a trailer to a stationary position and cause it to wait for any purpose other than that of immediately taking up or setting down persons, goods or luggage. Some of the common parking restrictions are:

1. Unbroken double yellow lines are laid down on the road – No parking at all times

2. Unbroken single yellow line is laid down on the side of the road – No parking between 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on this side of the road, except on Sundays and Public Holidays.

10. Pick-up/Drop-off bay:

Pick-up and drop-off points provided near public transport nodes are meant to facilitate immediate pick up and drop off. Hence, motorists should not wait at these bays, as this will cause unnecessary obstruction to other motorists picking up or alighting their passengers.

Composition Amount for Illegal Parking Offences

With effect from 1 January 2015, under the tiered fines for illegal parking regime, an individual who receives a Notice of Traffic Offence (“NTO”) for an illegal parking offence will be considered a repeat offender if he had received an NTO within the last 12 months from the date of his latest offence. The dates of the offence stated in the NTOs will be used to calculate the 12-month period to determine if an individual is a repeat offender.
A repeat offender may be offered composition at a higher amount as compared to another offender in similar circumstances but who is not a repeat offender. The composition amount offered may be more than 50% higher.
Apart from the composition amount, demerit points are awarded for certain offences. For offences that carry demerit points, it is mandatory for the vehicle owner to furnish the particulars of the driver.
