SINGAPORE - Two carparks near the Old Airport Road Food Centre are the latest to trial a barrierless parking system by the Housing Board, the first outside of Punggol.
"With Parking@HDB, motorists experienced at least 16 per cent time savings entering and exiting the carparks as they do not have to wait for the gantry barrier to be raised, especially during peak hours," it said.With the app, users get the correct fee automatically deducted when exiting the carpark, without them having to manually activate the app or use a CashCard in the in-vehicle unit .
Green indicates availability for short-term parking, while amber means the space is reserved for season parking. A blue LED means the space is reserved for people with physical disabilities. The light indicator will be switched off for occupied spaces, and will flash red when motorists park in an unauthorised space.Those who park in unauthorised spaces will receive an alert on the app informing them to move their vehicles.Those without the app will receive an SMS alert from HDB.
