SINGAPORE - Motorists who break traffic rules in school zones and Silver Zones will face higher fines and additional demerit points from July 1. The fines for traffic offences in these areas, where there is a higher frequency of schoolchildren or the elderly, will be increased by $100, and drivers will also incur two additional demerit points for each offence, said the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in a statement on Tuesday (June 1). Those who go above the usual speed limit of 40kmh in Silver Zones, or in school zones when the"40kmh When Lights Flash" sign is flashing, will also be liable for the higher penalties. MHA said this move follows an increase in traffic accidents resulting in elderly pedestrian casualties from 223 in 2015 to 317 in 2019. Last year, the elderly made up more than 80 per cent of pedestrian fatalities. "While jaywalking by elderly pedestrians contributed to some of these accidents, many accidents also arise from irresponsible driving behaviour on the motorist's part, such as failing to slow down when approaching a pedestrian crossing. "The situation may be improved with greater care on the part of motorists," said MHA. For example, for failing to slow down o...
