Should the LTA re-design this section of the CTE?

Posted on Beh Chia Lor's Facebook page is this footage following a chain collision on the Central Tunnel Expressway, which supposedly happened just last evening (24 November 2020), right before the exit towards Upper Serangoon Road (headed towards the City).

From what we can tell from the video, it looks like up to six vehicles where involved in the accident, including one tipper lorry! (watch from the start of the video)

Netizens seem to be in agreement about the danger of the road layout along this section of the CTE...

What do you guys think? Is a re-design in order? Should a highway even allow so many cars to be crisscrossing each other to begin with? Should the section of the PIE that follows after (prior to the exit onto the KPE) be looked into as well? Tell us below!

These roads are designed by LTA scholars lo. They will think it's an ingenious design like no other. You say their road design got problem? They will reply you with a LTA standard reply.

Problem with ownself check ownself design.

Many drivers like to do last min exit. Cutting 2-3 lanes in short distance and causing other car to e-brake.

I travel to this exit everyday from work at Yishun. Very true that many drivers will cut in at last min to squeeze into the exit towards PIE(Changi).  I tend to keep the lane since AMK Ave 1 exit. Indeed Slower but I don't have to stress about missing the exit.

This stretch can be quite confusing for new drivers but as long as you slow down and watch your mirrors, it should be fine. Most accidents happen because people speed too much.

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
