Over 100 summonses issued, 3 motorcyclists arrested in 3-Day Traffic Police expressway enforcement operation

Against the backdrop of a "worrying" traffic situation — that has seen overall accident and casualty counts rise in the first half of the year — the Traffic Police (TP) conducted a three-day enforcement operation against errant motorists on Singapore's expressways.

The operation, from Sept 14 to 16, resulted in 104 summonses issued for various traffic offences such as speeding and driving or stopping on the road shoulder of an expressway, TP said on Friday (Sept 18).

Three motorcyclists were also arrested for driving without a valid driving licence and for using a vehicle without insurance coverage, the police added.

They reiterated that road safety is a shared responsibility and motorists must abide by traffic laws and practice safe driving habits as they share the roads with other users.

From January to June, Singapore recorded a total of 60 fatal road accidents, with 61 people killed.

Despite the dip in fatalities, the number of accidents resulting in injuries increased by 3.2 per cent to 3,869 in the first half of 2026, from 3,748 in the first half of 2025.

Likewise, the total number of injured persons and fatalities increased to 5,151 — up from 4,973 in the same period last year.

On Aug 4, Parliament passed the Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill which the Ministry of Home Affairs said will strengthen accountability for the most egregious road conduct.

It will also deter driving under influence of alcohol or drugs, and enhance TP's ability to detect and enforce traffic enforces, said Second Minister for Home Affairs Sim Ann at the Second Reading of the Bill.

The Bill also introduces a new offence of purposeful endangerment, which deals with a motorist who deliberately endangers another person using a vehicle and causing death.

Meanwhile, the revised Driver Improvement Points System (DIPS) will come into effect in January 2027.

Under the revised DIPs, the number of demerit points that can be accumulated before suspension will drop from 24 to 18.
