The data is accessible via another gov-portal, Land Transport Authority: http://www.mytransport.sg/content/mytransport/home/dataMall.html#Traffic_Related:Traffic_Images. Review comment: It is uncertain whether the data are machine readable and available in bulk, because you need to file a request to get them.
