PUBLISHED ONMay 07, 2026 1:35 PMBYSean LerA total of 19 motorists were caught for various traffic offences during stepped up enforcement operations at Woodlands Checkpoint during the Labour Day long weekend.
The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said in a statement on Thursday (May 7) evening that the operations are intended to deter and detect motorists who commit traffic offences, engage in queue cutting, and display other dangerous road behaviour.
At the departure lanes, motorists were found to have committed traffic offences such as crossing double white lines, making illegal right turns, stopping in positions likely to cause danger, obstruction and undue inconvenience, as well as queue cutting.
Of these, 14 were directed to make a U-turn and re-queue, while the drivers of four foreign-registered vehicles were banned from entering Singapore for offences including crossing double white lines and queue cutting.
All 18 have been referred to the Traffic Police for further action.
ICA added that one motorist was caught at the arrival lanes for crossing double white lines and was also referred to the Traffic Police.
The authority reminded motorists that it takes a "very serious stance" against motorists who violate traffic laws or fail to comply with officers' instructions at checkpoints, as such actions compromises the safety of other motorists.
"We will not hesitate to take firm actions against them," ICA said.
