Catching motorists who tailgate to avoid parking charges

[arnoldmeulen]

in the Netherlands we use a second gate barrier (sluice) to prevent this.

But not long ago they started to use OCR number plate recognition to detect or the vehicle with the given ticket has paid.
But because it’s only a front camera they can use the back numberplate for a second vehicle.

At first, I thought to myself, "OMG how cheap can you get..." but then I realized that's Singapore. You need every edge over there.

Would you rather, don't tailgate and pay $2 for the parking fee or pay $4000 for violating the law by tailgating?

Obviously $2

question here is: if the owner dont pay the fine, what will the authority do? there are many cases where vehicle owners dont pay fines, be it LTA, TP, HDB for multiple occasions, they still continue to drive around.

Many Singaporeans are like that. Got money to drive car but no money to pay parking fees but still act like ya ya papaya! Shameless!

In Australia the boomgates close so quickly after your vehicle has gone passed it.

It's been two years since this article. And it's still rampant.

Perhaps you were following at an unreasonably close distance. If a person is following too closely, the farthest thing from someones mind might be whether the person following them has a season pass. It may have to do with staying back a reasonable distance, that's all.

Good ideal for having 2barriers. First car out first barrier open than reach second barrier open when first barrier is close.

I would just stop right after passing the arm. Let the arm come down, then drive away.

I have seen lots of vehicles tailgating at the car park... one of the videos shows the Mc Donald delivery and the motorist, I was there and I saw them tailgating... I was shock to see that they avoid themselves just not paying the money...

[Kelvin-hmcp]

But over government won't do 2barriers cos they prefers to issue fine rather than waste money on doing 2 barriers.

[kahghimkor]

Those dislikes are people who committed it

[manusiagendut]

use 2 barriers with space 7metres. it still fit for 1 truck but cannot fit 2 passenger cars.

3 years already, still seeing many videos on parking gantry payment evasion. When will this be implemented?

[kimxgamer]

Lol tailgating cost the driver way more money

[ahan]

Uniquely singapore...tailgating to avoid paying parking fees :D

[djfearross]

Seriously, you don't even need any advances in technology to be able to develop such a sytem.

3 years passed and they called the IU reader a cctv...

What about motorcycles? I have been riding for years and for many years they have promised cardless payment which is great I have signed up for vcashcard which was supposedly going to be implemented for all HDB carpark very soon but that very soon was like 5 years ago? I have lost so many cashcard I thought signing up for vcashcard means I don’t need the cashcard anymore. So yes no need for ERP & some shopping centres but I always get stuck at HDB estate without a cashcard that I have to push my bike out of the side path....
