Yes, this is worse than having the nails on the coffin loosened, no support and hanging towards my pager / belt level. Pse belt-up!

[Audi2016]

No need seat belt.. got 2 air bags ready to deploy anyway.

driving on nshw will tell you its less bumpy than our xpressway.

 

and i believe its the tree planted in the center divider that made it so with their roots growing wider and further.

Yeah agree.

 

Nshw is very straight, no bump hence ur ride dont shake that much. I think in sg, its MCE thats not as bumpy as other roads e.g CTE

Let me explain to you why the road in Singapore so jialat:

 

1. Price Quality Method of tendering (PQM) aka Price Method cos everyone heck the quality component. So the lowest bidder wins.

according to those genius/ scholars the PSSCOC ensure the standards which means the LTA project officer and the RTOs must work. Most of this RTOs are FTs so you tink they will take good care of your roads?

 

2. Short Construction duration which mainly due to Singaporean impatience. Closing the road for a few hours already can let the whole kampong complain you till you die. For the aphalt (B1 and W3B grade) to really gain strength, its best to let it cure for 12 hours and beyond. but we neither have the luxury of time nor an alternative route to fulfil this. So you get heavily rutted roads or big depression or pot holes after a heavy downpour.

 

3. Those people actually repairing the roads are just ah nehs and bangladeshi workers. no local foreman to watch over them cos locals dun wanna work such profession anymore. Those Singaporeans still working in this line are old uncles liao. So mus really salute them. 

 

Hope that explains why our roads re so cock up

You are right on point 3)  Its not easy working in the open hot sun or rain and also with the dangers lurking at such places and our high density roads make it even scarier too,  even sometimes I see not enuff  advance signages of advance info as the roads/ streets are so short especially at junction type where you are turning in and suddenly stuck at a signboard  advising Men at Work

 

What to do with such a small place and developement going on on every square foot of land with people requiring more utilities everywhere , so lobang here and lobang everywhere and a bumpy one too

Now still 2nd world haven reach 3rd world yet.

 

Unless our govt decides to act and get people on the ground to implement practical policies doubt our country can remain efficient

[flashbang]

Yeah agree.

Just curious, is it also that the entire #$%%^&ing list of qualified bidders are also all grASSroot linked companies?

[Atonchia]

Really fed-up with the bumpy road conditions. Mrt lines I can understand as need to re-align roads. But housing estates road have crappy conditions from months already.

 

Slow drive with heavy traffic can than. Bumpy road is just really poor control of the contractors standard.

 

Make use of car cameras video screen shot to submit to LTA.

Is the quality of the contractors.

Many re-surfaced road are more bumpy then before. Like the kpe tunnel.

Agree, they can be contractors from

1) Telco

2) LTA

3) Utilities companies

They excavate they never compact properly.
