Written Reply to Parliamentary Question 

Mr Ng Shi Xuan asked the Acting Minister for Transport

a.     what enforcement efforts has the Ministry undertaken to ensure that heavy vehicles are parked in their Vehicle Parking Certificate (VPC) designated parking spaces; and

b.     what is the annual breakdown of such enforcement cases over the past five years.

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow: 

1.     Under the Vehicle Parking Certificate (VPC) Scheme, heavy vehicles are required to secure a parking lot in an authorised Heavy Vehicle Park. Between 12am and 6am, heavy vehicles must be parked in designated parking lots suitable for heavy vehicles when not in use.

2.     LTA has been taking enforcement action against heavy vehicles found parked at non-designated locations, based on feedback received and through patrols.

3.     The number of Notices of Offence issued against heavy vehicles parking at non-designated parking spaces average about 1,300 annually over 2020 to 2024.
