A multi-agency operation was conducted by the Singapore Police Force, the LTA, and NEA in the northern part of Singapore on 30 March.
15 motorists were caught for offences that included using mobile communication devices and exhaust emissions.
Here is what NEA said on Facebook
#DidYouKnow that one of the sources of air pollution in Singapore is vehicular emissions? Hence, to sustain a healthy and clean living environment, it’s important that we educate motorists to reduce vehicle exhaust and noise emissions.
As part of a multi-agency effort to remind motorists to adhere to Singapore’s environmental and road safety regulations, we carried out checks on motorists in the northern part of the island, on 30 Mar 2022 (Wed), together with Singapore Police Force and Land Transport Authority – We Keep Your World Moving. A total of 15 errant motorists, which included cars, motorcycles, and commercial goods vehicles were fined for various offences, which included exhaust emissions and using a mobile communication device.
Both local and foreign-registered vehicles entering Singapore must meet Singapore’s exhaust and noise emission standards under the Environmental Protection and Management (Vehicular Emissions) Regulations. Non-compliant foreign vehicles may be denied entry at Singapore’s land checkpoints and/or face penalties by the relevant authorities.
NEA, SPF and LTA will continue to conduct regular and ad-hoc enforcement blitzes. Members of the public who wish to report errant motorists for offences under the three authorities may submit details such as the vehicle registration number, location, date and time of the incident, via any of the following platforms. Together, we can keep our environment clean and safe. #CleanAirForAll
