Overall enforcement level in 2006 registered a marginal drop of 1% compared to 2005 in the number of summons issued. Summonses issued for moving offences such as speeding or careless driving decreased by 6.9%, from 140,405 to 130,714 in 2006. Summonses issued for pedestrian offences decreased by 3.1% from 7,051 to 6,962 in 2006. Most pedestrians were fined for, failing to cross at pedestrian crossing, not obeying traffic lights, or choosing to climb over railings instead of using nearby overhead bridges.

Traffic Police works closely with our strategic partners and the community to promote road safety awareness and influence road user behaviour through our various public education outreach programmes. Our road safety education efforts include large-scale campaigns such as the Road Courtesy campaign and the Anti-Drink Drive campaign and regular talks and exhibitions to the public. Last year, about 1,275 talks, exhibitions and outreach sessions were conducted.

In 2007, we will continue with our public education programmes to reach out to road users. Adopting the approach of "road safety education for motorcyclists by motorcyclists", TP will be working closely with members of motorcycle clubs associated with the Singapore Bikers Forum to give road safety talks to students in all ITE and polytechnics. We will be working through the NPC and grassroots to reach out to the community, both motorists and non-motorists alike, to inculcate a road safety conscious mindset that eschews irresponsible driving behaviours such as speeding and drink driving.
