SINGAPORE: Traffic Police plan to beef up their presence on the roads by getting auxiliary police to carry out enforcement and digitising existing enforcement cameras by 2014 so that they can issue summonses faster.
They are also studying the possibility of increasing the number of enforcement cameras.
Police will also increase community engagement and outreach efforts on road safety.
For example, Traffic Police will identify more Road Safety Champions in various industries, including those with large fleets of heavy vehicles, to help promote road safety.
This will help to tackle a continuing increase in errant road users.
According to the Traffic Police's annual report card released on Friday, there were 327,503 cases of traffic violations in 2012.
The figure is higher than the 316,214 in 2011 and 304,472 in 2010.
The bulk of the violations are for speeding and running red lights.
However, the overall traffic situation in 2012 improved, with fewer accidents and casualties.
There were 7,168 fatal and injury accidents, a decrease of 758 cases from 2011.
Figures for two groups of road users - motorcyclists and their pillions as well as pedestrians - also saw improvement.
Fatalities involving motorcyclists fell to 76 in 2012, from 99 the year before.
Pedestrian deaths dropped slightly, from 49 in 2011 to 44 in 2012.
Traffic Police Commander Cheang Keng Keong reminded road users to act responsibly.
He added that more initiatives will be announced in the coming months to deal with those who break the law.

Alot of companies now giving bonuses, so as a TD, if you can huat now, plse work harder if your can, cos after this month, companies will reach their financial month, and the lookout for 2013 will be gloomy with a mix. You will see companies cutting cost here and there, then maybe you can relax at that time.
