About LTA Survellance on Expressways

1. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) uses surveillance cameras on the expressways to frequently look out for road incidents. When on incident is detected or when a report is received, LTA will activate the vehicle recovery crew and/or LTA Traffic Marshals to asisst you.

2. The recovery crew will arrive in about 15 minutes to help you tow your vehicle fo the nearest designated car park outside the expressway. The recovery crew also patrols the expressways regularly to help stranded motorists and keep traffic moving.

3. EMAS Vehicle Recovery Service will not tow your vehicle to any workshop. EMAS VRS can only tow vehicles to the nearest designated car parks outside the expressways. The recovery trucks have to stay near or on the expressways at all times to help other stranded motorists and keep the traffic moving. You can then arrange for your own towing service.

4. You may be fined if your vehicle had to be towed from the expressway due to insufficient petrol/gas. It is an offence in Singapore to drive a vehicle with no petrol.
