Illegal parking along narrow roads

[arphaxad12]

Hi fellow cs'ers,

I have a general question. Nowadays illegal parking and waiting along narrow 2-way roads are getting out of hand. Just because these are not in CBD areas, the traffic police are hardly seen around. I often take pictures of cars stopping along these narrow roads, when I cannot get through and reverse all the way out (if no cars at the back). The common culprits are taxis. Does anyone know where to report these cases, sending to LTA/traffic police does not seem to work ie any specific govt agencies who will really act on this problem?

manpower issue, really.

i remember an accident scene. a taxi had suddenly made a right turn without looking for oncoming traffic. an LTA officer on a motorcycle was in the opposite lane and hit him and flew.

while the officer lay there in pain, the taxi driver got out and hurled abuse at the man for hitting and damaging his cab.

all the bystanders who witnessed the accident went forward and told the crabby cabby to back off from the injured man. i walked over to where the cabby was verbally abusing a caucasian lady for helping the officer, and told him to back off.

people these days tsk tsk.

manpower issue, really.......

I am not sure it is entirely manpower. I thought LTA has contracted out illegal parking to private companies? It is true you don't see LTA police on the road nowadays. They are deployed more for escort of VIPs and official functions.

I wonder can the SPF also act on behalf of LTA or they are separate companies? While the NPP walks or patrol around, surely they can double up. In private companies, cleaners, security officers will report any defects to maintenance rather then waiting for customers to report them.

priest give chance maybe one day you may need to park in a hurry.
last year i tio summon just 1 day away from CNY Eve. Really spoiled my New Year celebrations. Ironically I parked there because the main parking area was TOO congested and I would have contributed to the jam in that area.

and for all the slacker motorist - please park properly as far as possible... don't misuse the generosity of road-wardens.

Some weeks ago, when there was a wake at the void deck of the HDB, every Tom, Dick and Harry attending the wake had o park the car just next to it, blocking the service road and the entrance to rubbish chute. All this while the MSCP is just 3min walking away. What drives these lazy idiots to do this? Do they need an accident in the family and an ambulance being stuck on the road to learn? Maybe ..
Snap pictures and report, but don't post on this idiotic website of Stomp. It only creates clicks and money for SPH, they earn money from the problems of other people for the entertainment of the brainless.
