Cameras to ease traffic congestion

SINGAPORE (AFP): Singaporeans can look forward to less congestion on the road once surveillance cameras are installed at 100 traffic junctions across the island-state in the next 18 months, the Sunday Times reported.

The Land Transport Authority has embarked on a S$6.3 million (US$3.6 million) venture to install surveillance cameras at selected road junctions to capture images of traffic conditions which will be available online, the report said.

The cameras will aid traffic operators to spot indiscriminate parking or loading and unloading activities which can block roads.
