Maxwell Chambers Suites, formerly known as the Traffic Police Headquarters or the Traffic Police Building, and later as the Red Dot Traffic Building, is a historic building on Maxwell Road in Chinatown, Singapore. It initially served as the Police Barracks and the headquarters of the Traffic Police branch of the Singapore Police Force, which moved into the building in 1930. In 1941, the first driving test centre in Singapore was established within the building. It ceased operations in 1978 to relieve congestion in the area. Following the Traffic Police's move to a new complex in 1999, the building was left vacant. It was acquired by the Red Dot, which established the Red Dot Design Museum in the building in 2005. The building was then officially renamed the Red Dot Traffic Building. In 2017, the museum moved elsewhere, after which the building was taken over by the Ministry of Law, which intended to convert it into an extension of the neighbouring Maxwell Chambers at 32 Maxwell Road. It then underwent restoration and renovation, which also involved the construction of a new annexe building and a linkway to Maxwell Chambers, before reopening in 2019 as the Maxwell Chambers Suites.
