27 motorists nabbed for traffic offences at Woodlands Checkpoint during September school break
ICA had warned travellers to expect heavy traffic and longer waiting times at land checkpoints.
During the September school holidays, 27 motorists were apprehended for traffic violations at Woodlands Checkpoint, according to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA). The offences included queue-cutting and other hazardous road conduct. From September 4 to September 13, 16 vehicles departing Singapore were ordered to reverse course and rejoin the queues.
Furthermore, eight foreign-registered vehicle drivers were barred from re-entering the country after crossing double white lines and cutting traffic queues. Of the 16 motorists, 16 were referred to the Traffic Police for further disciplinary action. Additionally, three motorists arriving in Singapore were caught committing similar infractions.
The ICA intensified enforcement operations at the checkpoint during this period to identify motorists who had transgressed traffic laws and to discourage others from doing the same. The agency emphasized its strict stance against such violations and vowed to take firm action against offenders. Travellers were advised to cooperate with ICA officials, adhere to traffic regulations, and maintain lane discipline while using land checkpoints.
Prior to the holidays, the ICA had warned travelers to anticipate congested traffic and extended wait times at land checkpoints between September 4 and September 10 due to the approaching September school break.
