Wt_know Supersonic March 5, 2019 Share March 5, 2019 yes. that's assumption 30k cars to clear in 4 hours the jam is whole day from 7am to 7pm also got cars going into jb the question is whether jam 1hr 2hr or 3hrs only! It is impossible to clear 125 cars per min. Woodland check point has 4 lanes. Each lane has about 4 ~ 10 booths. Let assume maximum number of booths are open during peak hours, we have 4 x 10 = 40 booths --> Woodland check point can only clear maximum 40 cars per min. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

may_dream 4th Gear March 5, 2019 Share March 5, 2019 Sat evenings are better than Sun evenings means a lot of cars go in on Sat, stay one night and come back on Sun evening? friday evenings also very bad jam.... for those going to melaka and further north for short holidays or PR going home. so sunday evenings are accumulated of friday evening crowd plus sat morning crowd thus sunday evenings is almost triple jam....

Bigtoe March 5, 2019 Share March 5, 2019 Though, I'd say at least half of S-plate cars are Malaysian-Singapore PR. Some restaurants you go inside over weekend, 80% talking about their life and work in SG with their friends or family. 几够力一下 Malaysian-Singapore PR will not buy car in Singapore unless they married to a Singaporean. 1. Single Malaysian-Singapore PR will cross Woodland checkpoint by bus or by motobike. 2. Couple Malaysian-Singapore PRs will buy house in SG first, no money left to buy car in Singapore. Those are talking about their life and work in SG with their friends or family that you saw in restaurant may not cross Woodland checkpoint by car.

Lovemyride 4th Gear March 5, 2019 Share March 5, 2019 Let assume: 1. Same 20,000 SG cars go in JB via Woodland check point on Saturdays and Sundays. I.e 20,000 cars go in on Sat, 20,000 cars go in on Sun. 2. No car stay overnight. I.e all cars will do 1 day trip, go in and come back within same day. If these 2 above are true then followings will also be true: 1. Sat mornings go in can not be worse than Sun mornings go in. 2. Sat evenings come back can not be better than Sun evenings come back. Here are what I observed: 1. Saturday mornings go in are always crowded than Sunday mornings go in. It means that number of cars go in on Saturday is always greater than number of cars go in on Sunday. 2. Saturday evenings come back are always better than Sunday evenings come back. 1 + 2 mean a lot of cars go in on Saturday and stayed overnight - - > a lot of Singaporeans have second house in JB. You remind me of my uni stats class. If XXX is true, YYY must be true. If YYY is true, it doesn't mean XXX is true. Don't need to have second home in JB. Stay hotel, AirBnB once a week is good enough. I do that sometimes if I've a lot of things to do. Join the Saturday morning crowd, by the time reach JB lunchtime or 1pm already. If do day trip then I've to rush. Of course a lot are Malaysian PRs too. Imagine last weekend was considered like a normal weekend already so crowded. It will be worse during CNY, December holidays and other long weekend. Very hard to predict the pattern nowadays because people see no jam, they go in spontaneously even though they have nothing specific to do. That was me last weekend. Whatever goes in needs to come out. So 4 hours Sunday evening JB-SG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigtoe March 6, 2019 Share March 6, 2019 friday evenings also very bad jam.... for those going to melaka and further north for short holidays or PR going home. so sunday evenings are accumulated of friday evening crowd plus sat morning crowd thus sunday evenings is almost triple jam.... Yes, correct. Sunday evenings come back are accumulated of Friday evening crowd plus sat morning crowd plus sun morning crowd. I drove to melaka before. Frankly speaking, I felt driving on 110kmh high way was very dangerous even though I drove during daytime. So I don't think Kiasu Singaporeans will dare to drive up north on 110kmh high way AT NIGHT on Friday evenings. Kiasu Singaporeans will stay Friday night at their second house in JB and drive up north on Saturday morning. My theory is “a lot of Singaporeans have second house in JB”. They go in JB every Friday evenings and Saturday mornings. They stayed overnight in JB and caused the jam on Sunday evenings when everybody rush back.

Bigtoe March 8, 2019 Share March 8, 2019 Woodlands checkpoint has most stupid design in the world. If you are coming back to Singapore from JB, you will see truck lane is at leftmost side. All incoming cars will be stopped to give way for trucks to cross all lanes from leftmost side to rightmost side. What a most stupid design!Whenever, I was stopped at Woodlands checkpoint to give way for trucks to cross all incoming lanes, I could not stop repeating myself from saying: What a most stupid design in the world!

Airwaver 4th Gear March 8, 2019 Share March 8, 2019 What about returning back to Spore late at 10-12pm on Sat or Sun, any bad jam? Safer to return between 2pm-5pm on a weekend, after 6pm could jam till pass midnight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Supersonic March 8, 2019 Share March 8, 2019 Safer to return between 2pm-5pm on a weekend, after 6pm could jam till pass midnight. I think safe to return between 2-4pm on a weekend, esp malaysia side would be quite clear. From 4pm traffic might be high. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigtoe March 8, 2019 Share March 8, 2019 I think safe to return between 2-4pm on a weekend, esp malaysia side would be quite clear. From 4pm traffic might be high. After 4.00 pm trucks from Singapore side will start to cross all incoming lanes from leftmost side to rightmost side. he he. And when trucks from Singapore side start to cross all incoming lanes, jam will start from Woodlands checkpoint all the way jam to inside JB CIQ. he he And when JB CIQ start to jam inside, half of JB, areas outside of JB CIQ will start to jam as well. All of Jam is started with trucks from Singapore side start to cross all incoming lanes from leftmost side to rightmost side. he he. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
