The Land Transport Authority (LTA) Quick Response (QR)-code Parking System was created to tackle indiscriminate parking of shared bicycles. It is mandated and regulated by the Singapore government on bicycle sharing operators.

Since it’s initial rollout, it has been expanded to “device-sharing services”.

QR-code

The QR-codes themselves are static, and take on the form “XXX-YYYY” Where “X” is an acronym of the general area, while “Y” is a hexadecimal value.

“X” value	Location
BIS	?
HOG	Hougang
SKG	Sengkang

Locations

These QR-codes can typically be found under HDB void decks and near bus stops.

Those near bus stops are typically not covered (covered=no) and are either on grass pavers (surface=grass_paver) or cement (surface=cement).

Types of Locations

The parking locations can be broken down in to 2 forms:

1. Existing bicycle parking infrastructure. These are typically bicycle_parking=two_tier or bicycle_parking=wall_loops.
2. Standalone. A yellow box with a bicycle logo in the center, and a QR code at the bottom-right corner.

Known Locations

To my knowledge, neither the parking spots nor the associated QR-codes are available for download by the general public. However, locations may be discoverable via the bicycle sharing operators’ apps.

I’ve begun uploading these locations to OpenStreetMap through surveying. Currently focusing around the Hougang/Sengkang area.

Mapping

All bicycle rental dropoff points are marked as a standalone node. Based on some trial-and-error, these are my recommended tags:
