Wind30 Turbocharged April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 Did you guys read about the new ERP rates review? It seems that overall ERP rates southbound on the CTE has risen by $1 for 8-830am? Does this mean that the CTE traffic conditions is worse after the CTE widening? Spend MILLIONS of dollars to widen CTE from YCK to PIE.... never improve bottleneck. So what happens? It jams at balestier like it did 20 years back when CTE was 3 lanes all the way. Now 4 lanes all the way, balestier becomes bottleneck. I think the overall throughput of cars actually fell as the balestier area CTE is so conjested and traffic speed is very slow. I think our LTA really cannot make it. I mean after such a big major road improvement project at CTE, I would expect traffic conditions to improve and rate to go down or at the very least stay the same overall. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

13177 Hypersonic April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 LTA theory is, if after road widening still no improvement, the next solution will be impose more and higher ERP! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Turbocharged April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 since now got 4 lanes, everyone will think the traffic congestion has improved. n all will use cte, which makes the traffic worse. back to square 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wt_know Supersonic April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 (edited) CTE is the WORST expressway in SPORE ... PERIOD ! due to that ... i avoid going AMK, Serangoon, Hougang whenever possible ... Edited April 30, 2012 by Wt_know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubberpad April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 I disagree. I feel the traffic in CTE is better after widening. Now i think LTA wants to futher improve the traffice with ERP amendments. Good move Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonyng 4th Gear April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 Ever kana jam but found no accident at end of it? Actually it is road hoggers who slow down expressway speeds and causing phantom jams. No amount of widening can cure that. Only way is to get rid of hoggers. Erp is just the wrong tree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got traffic research backing. http://adf.creativemessage.com/Newsletter....;a=4557&o=0 I think driver education and publicity is key here to change mindset. But unfortunately, all such efforts do not generate income. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
