You’ve just driven 40 minutes across the country for a bowl of your favourite Chicken Rice, and even though you’re hungrier than a bear after hibernation, nothing else will satiate your appetite.
But then you get to the car park behind the famous hawker centre and the only empty lots available are reserved for season parking.
So, you have three options:
Advertisements
- Wait for another vehicle to vacate its lot
- Break the law, park at a lot meant for season parking, and risk a fine
- Go to another car park down the road, and walk 10 minutes back to the hawker centre
Most of us would take option 1 or 2 3, but we’ve completely forgotten there’s a fourth option available:
4. Create your own lot like you simulate shellscrape in the army.
Motorcyclists in Woodlands Create Their Own Parking Lots With White Tapes
Because that’s kind of what these motorcyclists did in Woodlands.
On Tuesday (25 Aug), Facebook group SG Road Vigilante (SGRV) uploaded pictures of a rather odd sight at the void deck of an HDB block in Woodlands.
Upon first glance, it looks like your run-of-the-mill motorcycle lots, until you look a little closer and see that the markings aren’t in paint but white masking tape.
As you can see, two motorcycles are parked in these self-made lots, and another one, presumably owned by someone who appears to prefer breaking the law more blatantly, is parked outside the two lots.
One of the DIY lots was labelled “A”, and the other “H”. Presumably, these bikers wanted to let other riders know that these lots were not for the rest of the public.
Public: Gee thanks

According to SGRV, the lots were seen at the void deck of Block 899A, Woodlands Drive 50.
Allegedly Made By Biker Group
In the post, SGRV claims that the bikers who created the lots were the same ones who were allegedly seen spray painting their rims at the same area, which left paint marks on the floor.
The post says the bikes’ loud exhausts would wake residents in the night-time, something which would annoy anyone.
The bikes were also pictured parked at the same area, obstructing the switch room, without their self-made lots.
I guess they got lazy that day?

Town Council Investigating
According to MS News, officers from the Marsiling-Yew Tee Town Council have inspected the void deck in question but found no pieces of white tape on the floor.
However, they will continue to monitor the situation, it said.
As MS News pointed out, there’s a multi-storey carpark near the void deck, which must have more than enough motorcycle lots.
So, why did they create their own?
If they’re anything like most motorists in Singapore, we already know the answer: to avoid expending extra energy walking home.
