Important things to remember:
The range of composition amount shows what is initially offered for common offences. The actual composition amount for the relevant offence will be specified in the Notice of Parking Offence.
If there is delay in payment of the initial composition amount, the composition amount (if any) that is subsequently offered may be higher than the maximum amount shown above. Court action may also be initiated if there is no payment after sometime.
Offenders may be charged in Court without any offer of composition for serious offences. For example, tampered coupon offences.
Parking at reserved handicap lots
Under the Car Park Label Scheme, a vehicle with a handicap label can park at the reserved handicap lots. These lots have larger spaces for the use of mobility aids.
Those with physical disabilities and mobility constraints who self-drive or are ferried by caregivers can obtain these labels.
You can contact SG Enable at 1800-8585 885 or visit their website to apply for a handicap parking label.
