Processing traffic violations from video
Reviewing dashcam and other footage sent in by the public, finding the offence and the moment it happened, and preparing the case.

Where this applies
The ministry's written answer to a Parliamentary question. The Traffic Violation Enforcement Cameras use video analytics and number plate recognition to detect selected traffic offences in real time and can be moved around. During the trial from April 2025 to February 2026 they detected over 67,000 violations such as red-light running, illegal U-turns and crossing double white lines; the ministry says they automatically detect violations that are enforced manually by officers today and operate round the clock. After the trial the Traffic Police deployed nine of them from March 2026, with plans for more. These are roadside cameras, not the review of footage sent in by the public that the page's task also covers, and the reply gives no figure for officer time saved.
What this means
Finding traffic offences is moving from officers watching the road to cameras that detect violations themselves: in Singapore, cameras caught tens of thousands of offences officers used to enforce by hand, and are now deployed. What remains for officers is the case the camera cannot make.
What it does not yet show
It covers roadside cameras in one city-state, not public-submitted footage, and gives no officer-time figures; it does not show changes in traffic police numbers.

Does it change the assessment?
No. The impact index is never moved by a single event. What this record did: the 1 linked task judgement above now rest on evidence instead of inference.
