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.
