TONGUE IN CHEEK
Starting from Jan 1, 2015, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) will introduce a tiered fines regime.

Motorists who receive their second Notice of Traffic Offence (NTO) within 12 months will have to pay a higher tier of fines.

A motorist caught parking a light vehicle along unbroken double yellow lines will be fined S$110, instead of S$70, if this is the second NTO he has been issued within 12 months.

The number of demerit points, which are meted out for more serious illegal parking offences, will remain unchanged, said LTA. NTOs issued prior to Jan 1, 2015 will not be taken into consideration when applying the tiered fines regime.

Separately, LTA said it will install CCTV cameras at 40 more locations to deter illegal parking. It had installed CCTV cameras at 30 locations earlier this year and said it has "resulted in significantly smoother traffic".
