Findings from Trial Deployment of Traffic Violation Enforcement Cameras

104 Ms Valerie Lee asked the Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs (a) what are the key insights from the trial deployment of the Traffic Violation Enforcement Cameras (TVECs); (b) what are the statistics on offences detected by the TVECs during the trial period; and (c) what plans are in place to scale up their implementation nationwide going forward beyond the nine TVECs currently operationalised.

Mr K Shanmugam: The Traffic Violation Enforcement Cameras (TVECs) use video analytics and automatic number plate recognition technology to detect and capture selected traffic offences in real time. TVECs are mobile and can be redeployed according to enforcement needs.

During the trial period from April 2025 to February 2026, TVECs detected over 67,000 traffic violations, such as red-light running, illegal U-turns and crossing double white lines. TVECs enhance enforcement as they automatically detect violations that are enforced manually by officers today and operate round-the-clock.

Following the trial, the Traffic Police has deployed nine TVECs on our roads from March 2026. Traffic Police is also developing plans to increase the number of TVECs on our roads in the future.
