A total of 59 motorists were caught violating traffic rules during a recent stepped-up enforcement operation at Woodlands Checkpoint between 13 and 17 Feb 2026.
In a Facebook post on Saturday (21 Feb), the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) revealed that the joint operation, carried out with the Traffic Police (TP), targeted dangerous driving and queue-cutting behaviour.
According to the ICA, drivers were flagged for several offences, including driving against the flow of traffic, crossing double white lines, and leaving vehicles in positions that posed risks, caused obstruction, or created undue inconvenience.

During the operation, 48 vehicles were directed to make a U-turn and re-queue properly.
A further 31 vehicles were referred to TP for additional action.
In addition to local offenders, 11 foreign-registered vehicles were banned from entering Singapore.
The bans were imposed for offences including crossing double white lines and queue cutting.

The ICA reiterated that they take a serious view of motorists who disregard traffic laws and endanger public safety.
The authorities emphasised that they would continue to take strict action against those who violate traffic regulations or fail to comply with officers’ instructions at land checkpoints.
The ICA also reminded travellers to cooperate with officers, follow traffic rules, and maintain proper lane discipline when using land checkpoints.
They appealed for patience and understanding, especially during peak travel periods, to ensure safer and smoother travel for all road users.
