Mr Leong Mun Wai: To ask the Minister for Home Affairs (a) what is the cost of installing a traffic enforcement camera at a signalised intersection; and (b) whether the Traffic Police plans to deploy more such enforcement cameras for detecting red light running offences in addition to the current cameras deployed.

Mr K Shanmugam, Minister for Home Affairs and Minister for Law:

1. The cost of installing a new traffic enforcement camera at a signalised intersection ranges between S$100,000 and S$170,000, depending on the site conditions.

2. The Traffic Police adopts a risk-based approach and deploys traffic enforcement cameras at locations which are more prone to accidents and traffic violations. It assesses the situation on our roads, and where merited, will install such cameras.
