2024年7月2日，新加坡交通部長徐芳達在國會書面答覆義順集選區議員陳澮敏有關車輛停車位分類的標準問題。
以下內容為新加坡眼根據國會英文資料翻譯整理：
按重量而非大小對車輛進行分類和區分允許停車位的理由
74. 陳澮敏（義順集選區議員）女士詢問交能部長：
(i) 按重量而非大小對車輛進行分類的理由是什麼？
(ii) 按重量而非大小區分貨車允許停車位的理由是什麼？
徐芳達（交通部長）先生：在世界許多國家，包括英國及歐盟成員國，商用車，特別是貨車，都是按最大載重量 (MLW) 進行分類的。載重量超過其設計重量的車輛在緊急情況下無法快速停車，也無法在彎道上有效轉向。
根據車輛分類，貨車允許停車位也基於重量。考慮到額外的安全考慮，即此類車輛在住宅區過夜停車，規定載重量超過 5,000 公斤的重型貨車必須在午夜12:00 至上午 6:00 期間停放在指定的重型車輛停車場。
陳澮敏（義順集選區議員） 女士詢問國家發展部部長：
是否會考慮在住宅區內為依靠車輛（如拖車和貨運車)謀生的個體經營者分配單獨的貨車專用季節停車位？
李智陞先生（國家發展部長）：組屋（HDB）停車場主要是為了滿足居民的停車需求。對於季節性停車，居民的自備車輛或公司註冊車輛（包括個體經營者用於謀生的車輛）可優先停放。
一般而言，出於安全考慮和對居民可能造成的不便，空載重量超過 2,000 公斤的大型商用車輛（如貨車、拖車和貨運車）不得停放在組屋停車場。組屋多層停車場的設計也無法承受超過這一限制的車輛重量。如果車輛能夠停在停車場內，不會妨礙或危及其他停車場使用者，也不會造成不便，則建屋局可以根據具體情況考慮在地面停車場進行季節性停車。
以下是英文質詢內容：
RATIONALE FOR CATEGORISING VEHICLES AND DIFFERENTIATING ALLOWABLE PARKING SPACES FOR VEHICLES BY WEIGHT INSTEAD OF SIZE
74 Ms Carrie Tan asked the Minister for Transport what is the rationale for (i) categorising vehicles by weight instead of size and (ii) differentiating allowable parking spaces for lorries by weight instead of size.
Mr Chee Hong Tat: Commercial vehicles, in particular goods vehicles, are categorised by Maximum Laden Weight (MLW) in numerous countries around the world, including the United Kingdom and European Union member states. Vehicles that are loaded beyond their design weight are less able to stop quickly during an emergency and steer effectively at road bends.
Stemming from vehicle categorisation, the allowable parking spaces for lorries are also based on weight. Heavy goods vehicles with an MLW that exceeds 5,000 kilogrammes are mandated to park at designated heavy vehicle parks from 12.00 am to 6.00 am, given the additional safety considerations, namely, such vehicles parking at residential areas overnight.
Ms Carrie Tan asked the Minister for National Development whether the Ministry will consider allocating separate and dedicated season parking lots for lorries within housing estates for sole proprietors who depend on their vehicles, such as tow trucks and goods delivery vans, for their livelihood.
Mr Desmond Lee: The Housing and Development Board (HDB) parking lots are provided primarily to serve the parking needs of residents. For season parking, priority is accorded to residents who either have their own vehicle or a company-registered vehicle, including those used by sole proprietors for their livelihood.
In general, large commercial vehicles, such as lorries, tow trucks and goods delivery vans, with unladen weight exceeding 2,000 kilogrammes are not allowed to park at HDB car parks due to safety concerns and potential disamenities to residents. HDB multi-storey car parks are also not designed to withstand vehicular weights beyond this limit. HDB can consider season parking requests at surface car parks on a case-by-case basis, if the vehicle is able to fit within a parking lot, does not obstruct or endanger other car park users and does not create disamenities.
