From Feb 15, all foreign-registered vehicles entering Singapore from the Tuas or Woodlands Checkpoints will be charged S$6.40 per entry, said Land Transport Authority (LTA) in a press release.
The RRC (Reciprocal Road Charge) will be collected together with the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP), toll charges and fixed Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) fees upon departure at the Tuas or Woodlands Checkpoint.
The RRC mirrors Malaysia’s Road Charge of RM20 per entry for non-Malaysia registered cars entering Johor, which was implemented on 1 November, last year.
The LTA said it has put up signs at both Tuas and Woodlands to remind motorists to pay for the applicable charges by inserting their Autopass Card or CashCard into the card readers at the immigration booths.
LTA has imposed stiffer penalties on motorists who evade payment of the tolls, fees and charges. First-time offenders are liable to pay a composition sum of $50, while repeat offenders will have to pay $100. Motorists who do not pay the composition sum may be charged in court and are liable, on conviction, to a fine not exceeding S$1,000, or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months for the first offence.
