Hi guys,

 

I always take the KPE. 2 questions on my mind.

 

1) There is some kind of KPE radio right? How do I tune into it?

 

2) Where are the freaking speed cameras?

Exactly! What's the meaning of that sign?

 

What it says, tune to any singapore radio station when entering the tunnel - if got "in tunnel emergency" there will be some mehcanism whereby instructions are given to you via the commercial radio stations - just like when CD alarm sounds, you can tune to any radio station, dun have to tune to "special" station

Oh, I get it!

 

Damn, I always thought that there is a dedicated KPE radio channel.

Think some stations got very poor reception in tunnels. If I'm not wrong FM93.3 is one of them. So gotta tune to the correct one.

Is there a better strategy?

Cos there's some problems with doing that.

 

1) May miss out the signboards, or its blocked by some other truck

 

2) When let go accelerator, the car will still be going at above 80kmh for some time. Confirm won't get the speeding ticket?

It seems to jam a lot also, every morning I turn off just before the tunnel (coming from Punggol) and about twice a week there seems to be slow traffic. Dread to think what it will be like in 5-6 years when population of Punggol goes up

Think it'll improve soon 'cos it's a good excuse for the garment to turn on the ERPs! [lipsrsealed][laugh]

Very difficult to tell u exact location...... just pay attention to the signboard at the left hand side. after sign board ard 100m (+/-) is the cam. slow donw to ard 70km/h to play safe

Think above 80km/h will get flashed. I saw it happen once when a car didnt slow down at the camera... the flash is unmistakenable... light up the entire tunnel haha, like lighting.

 

The cameras are actually quite obvious one once you recognise them... they are grouped in 3s... usually 2 on your left and 1 on your right. Grey protuding rectgular boxes... usually after a camera signboard... but take note, there are also decoy signboards ie. no camera one... i usually travel around 80km/h until I reach the "real" cameras...

I also like to know where are the cameras. Otherwise I always stick to 70km/h for the whole stretch, look like kuku. [blush]

 

I believe they are mostly placed at the exits?
